For 15 years I did two to three movies a year, sometimes four. I didn't get to spend time building my personal life.

Wanting to work is a luxury; having to work is not.

When people are nasty, it gets everybody's attention, and it gives them a name.

Show business has never been my everything. It's a means; it's not the end. It's a means to the end. I want and have always wanted freedom. That was always my goal, to not have a boss, to not have anybody tell me what to do. Luckily, as an actor, I got that.

What life really is all about is happiness. It's not money, or stature, or the amount of cars you have in your driveway. Life, a really successful life, is one in which you are loved and love somebody else, or some other people.

Wanting to work is a luxury; having to work is not. If you're an artist, an actor, and you don't have to work, then you do work that you wanna do.

The allure of Hollywood is huge when you don't know anything. You don't know the knives behind the smiles.
