Whatever it is, if you draw, you paint, you're a carpenter, you play football, the more you do it, you're a journalist, the more stories you write, the more people you interview and navigate your way through these different personalities to get your story, the better you're going to get at it. Acting's no different.

Although I get so much fan mail from Great Britain, tell me, am I more famous there than Michael Madsen?

Why am I the way I am? Well, I used to be different.

I like to touch things. In my house I have a lot of velvet drapes and thick, lush couches.

It was dog food. Beef livers with onions in a can. You open it up and it looks like vomit.

You must have to want it so badly, if there is any way you can live without it, get out of it. Being an unsuccessful actor is like having a skin disease. Make sure your passion is not misplaced.

If someone messes with me, I'm going to mess with them.
