My closest friend is canine. I have precious few close friends, and most of them are not actors

Stagecoach is really my first Western, actually.

I put less stock in others' opinions than my own. No one else's opinions could derail me.

The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.

In a good script, it's really like a treasure map. You just focus on that, all the answers are pretty much in it.

I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.

I was living in New York, so I just rode my motorcycle up to the set [of New Jack City]. So first day of work for me was kind of tough. I get ready to get off my bike, and I'm surrounded by the security guards, who were Louis Farrakhan's Nation Of Islam guys. Who had the double-breasted suits and guns. And this guy goes, "Where you goin'?" And I said, "I'm here to work." And they said, "No you're not." And I said, "Yeah. I'm here to work on the movie." And they said, "No you're not. Get on your bike."
