I had learned something of Miami from people who had visited there, so I knew what to expect.

I'd seen my father. He was a poor man, and I watched him do astonishing things.

Every new fashion is a form of rebellion.

I've learned that I must find positive outlets for anger or it will destroy me. There is a certain anger: it reaches such intensity that to express it fully would require homicidal rage--self destructive, destroy the world rage--and its flame burns because the world is so unjust. I have to try to find a way to channel that anger to the positive, and the highest positive is forgiveness.

Forgiveness works two ways, in most instances. People have to forgive themselves too. The powerful have to forgive themselves for their behavior. That should be a sacred process.

When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard.

Acting isn't a game of "pretend." It's an exercise in being real.
