I think human consciousness is a misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law.

So to any of us, whatever those things are: whatever it is we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to, and whoever it is we're chasin'. To that I say: Amen. To that I say: Alright, alright, alright. To that I say: Just keep livin'. Thank you.

I am vain. I think vanity is a good thing. It's done more good things for me than it has not.

My experience in work, even going to work with Scorsese, is that people always think there's some magic trick. There's no magic trick. The people who are really good at what they do do simple things really, really well.

I think 'unbelievable' is an unbelievably stupid word.

I'm not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It's really not my place.

There's a difference in thinking you are a champion and knowing that you are.
