The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can't change. After I die, I'll probably come back as a paintbrush.

The biggest and most interesting crisis in the world is the human crisis, and it never gets boring. It goes back to Shakespeare. You don't need a gimmick; it's just man against man and their intolerance of each other.

I wanted to show I had balls at age 60.

When I'm on a location, I pick a restaurant that's close and private and eat all my meals there.

I've always said that the artist dies twice. And the first death is the hardest which is the career death, the creative death. The physical death is an inevitability.

Consider the source...Don't be a fool by listening to a fool.

I've done my "mind over matter" movies, and I think probably that people aren't really interested in seeing me do that anymore. I think I'm kind of past my prime to do dramatic films. I think it'd become kind of like almost a pathetic cry out to be recognized as a serious drama actor.
