Wrestling and boxing is like Ping-Pong and rugby. There's no connection.

I think the first year and a half that I was in New York I was having trouble just living somewhere. Back in them days the city was a lot different than it is now.

I've been with a lot of women, but who's counting? It's nothing I'm proud of. It's a physical need. Sometimes afterwards I just want to blow my brains out, it's so meaningless.

I was very immature when I was young, and for me there was no balance. Everything was just all or nothing.

People ask me about that all the time. They say, "Did you ever think of directing?" And I say, "It's completely out of the question."

Years ago I realized that maybe I made mistake, politically, when I turned a lot of that stuff down. I would go off to obscure places and make movies that six people went to see.

Boxers are very isolated - or isolated within their own camps.
