I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor and surviving.

Acting is an empty and useless profession.

People around me never say anything. They just seem to want to hear what I have to say. That's why I do all the talking.

I have decided to tell the story of my life as best I can, so that my children can separate the truth from the myths that others have created about me, as myths are created about everyone swept up in the turbulent and distorting maelstrom of celebrity in our culture.

If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.

It's a long climb up Fools' Hill.

Nobody "becomes" a character. You can't act unless you are who you are.
