No one who isn't an extremist can understand the mind of an extremist.

Most of my fans are too sensitive. I’m a cruel and cold and hard person. I’ve been abused in every way you can imagine. Save your tears. I lost my sensitivity. You embarrass me when you cry.

There's nothing wrong with making mistakes, just don't make the same ones. We don't want to duplicate them.

I don't have to be that gentleman ["baddest man on the planet"] anymore. Now I have to be "this" guy. And in order to be "this" guy, I have to be smiling, I have to be gregarious, I have to be entertaining, and I have to be friendly. This is what my career needs now. I've adapted. But 20 years from now, I may need a different persona.

I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian.

Sometimes they laugh at things I don't think are funny, but I believe if they're laughing at me, it's a good show.

Hard times fall upon everybody. Whatever it is, we're going to get out of it.
