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.

Hey, baby, nobody suffers like the poor.

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

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

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

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

The two sports are as different as Ping-Pong and rugby. In boxing, you don’t know what’s going to happen. In wrestling, it’s already prearranged. But the thing I didn’t know about wrestling is that you really get hurt. Because, you know, you’re wrestling in front of a live audience, and you end up doing things like jumps or slams, and 40 percent of the time you don’t land right.
