I get a call, and it's Howard Bingham, and he's got the champ on the line.Muhammad Ali didn't remember me from being a kid, but he was going, "Yeah, you're in bed, and you want your mama with you . . ." It really helped so much. He spent 15 or 20 minutes on the phone with me. That's a memory that I'll always cherish.

Being out of work for 13 to 15 years is no walk in the park.

It was either therapy or die.

Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key.

People are always afraid of the truth.

It's the formulaic studio movies the make money, and when they do, the actors in them are automatically movie stars.

A lot of the stuff I am now seeing is edgy, raw kinda material.
