Failure and its accompanying misery is for the artist his most vital source of creative energy.

I have the same problem as Marilyn. We attract people the way honey does bees, but they're generally the wrong kind of people. People who want something from us - if only our energy. We need a period of being alone to become ourselves.

I have enough money to get by. I'm not independently wealthy, just independently lazy, I suppose.

Look, I'm not odd. I'm just trying to be an actor; not a movie star, an actor.

I keep my family out of my public life because it can be an awful nuisance to them. What's my mother going to tell strangers anyway? That I was a cute baby and that she's terribly proud of me? Nuts. Who cares?

Look! Look! If you look really hard at things you'll forget you're going to die.
