I couldn't direct traffic. It's hard enough just acting.

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

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.

In boxing, you don't know what's going to happen. In wrestling, it's already prearranged.

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

I started having some memory-loss issues. I took a neurological exam, and they said, "Well, you should stop fighting now." And I kept begging them for one more fight, one more fight, and the doctor said to me, "How much are they going to pay you?" I was supposed to fight three more times, and one would have been for a cruiser belt. So I said, "I just need to fight three more times." He said, "Listen, you can't even get hit in the head one more time, your neuro is so bad."

A lot of those who let you down are those who seemed the closest to you.
