I'm thankful to be breathing, on this side of the grass. Whatever comes, comes.

I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight.

I expect that everything I do will be not watched or not seen. That way, I'm never disappointed when I become flooded with that reality.

I had an opportunity to be in Frank's [Sinatra] circle, but I couldn't take advantage of it because I couldn't get over how awed I was by him. It was so uncomfortable for me because he meant so much to me, but I just couldn't be myself, so I fled rather than having those great nights hanging out.

That's always been Guillermo's preference, is to have as much there practically as is humanly possible, and that digital graphic images are more a punctuation mark than they are a replacement.

"Striking looking." That's a euphemism if I ever heard one.

I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.
