When you are young, you often think that the world spins around you. You think you can do anything, can take the world on your shoulders.

I really am a manifestation of my own fantasy.

No one's life is totally morbid. Even on a subtle scale there's little flashes of enlightenment and of happiness and joy.

In a contest between me and a bulldog, you would say the bulldog is cuter.

If you don't have a mountain, build one and then climb it. And after you climb it, build another one; otherwise you start to flatline in your life.

I was an insecure kid. Once I saw 'Hercules' with Steve Reeves, it completely changed my life. If I had never gone to that film, I wouldn't be here today.

The one thing in my films, I only kill people who need to be killed, or killers killing killers. And I believe that the violence is very justifiable.
