I had an extraordinary belief in myself. For years people told me to give it up and even though I was poverty- stricken, I never thought I should give it up.

The first thing I'll do if I want to look really crappy is, I don't wear any makeup at all.

I'm the audience's representative on earth.

My view is that you should always remake failures because then you've got nowhere to go but up.

I don't think human beings are bad. They're weak. And that's what makes 'em bad.

My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.

Things are not quite what they seem always. Don't start me on class, otherwise you'll get a four-hour lecture.
