I really have very little aspirations about acting because I think that probably the best things have come and gone. I would like to focus on writing and directing. I love writing and directing even though writing can be incredibly painful and lonely. I get great satisfaction from doing it.

That's the hardest thing about doing sequels - you've lost the element of surprise.

I'm usually taken for a non-intellectual, a person of limited intelligence. I don't know why, but I figure it's because physically I don't look intelligent.

Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality; if not, one has not lived.

Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!

And if I look at my icebox, there's no way I'm sitting there looking like Gandhi. I mean, I don't have crickets in there and little green rice. No, I mean it's a pretty liberal icebox. It's all in there.

Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.
