I keep trying to tell people. I said, at 40, 45, you're at that crossroads. You really are there. And it's not like you can have gain without pain, but this is it. The days are - like when I wrote this whole thing about, in the beginning of my first magazine. I said, "If you live to be 75 years old, that's 3,900 weekends. That's it."

I believe an artist dies twice. The first time, it's just terrible - I've been there when the phone isn't ringing for years.

I never started out to be an action actor. I was an ensemble actor.

With a lot of comedians, one of their major attributes is that they look comedic, with a certain hangdog or manic expression. I look like the neighborhood bully. That doesn't elicit laughter.

Movies are a whole different ball-game, now. It's much more of a business - very scientific.

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

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.
