Picasso said art is a lie that tells the truth. What if you just want to tell the truth and not lie about it?

Tattoos to me are the outward symbol of the inward change within my soul.

I have a love/ hate relationship with the city of New Orleans, which is the strongest kind of relationship.

You aren't a true internationalist until you've supplied weapons to kill your own countrymen.

I love working with younger actors because they always come into the game full of energy and ideas that challenge me and keep me learning and stimulated.

I'm not an anarchist any more. I still love the Sex Pistols, but I don't want to be a punk rocker all the time, but I do want to carry on exploring new forms of acting.

I don't find the same things funny that many other people seem to find funny. I don't really respond to sex jokes and things like that, and some of my friends look at me and go, "Come on, Nic, that was my best joke. Why aren't you laughing?" I go, "I really don't know why I'm not laughing. I'm sort of out of sync with it." So I'd have to find something that was really about weird human behavior for me to laugh.
