Without deadlines and restrictions I just tend to become preoccupied with other things.

I think spiritual perception comes from natural and healthy relationship to the land and I've had that. I get an easy, automatic sense of myself in nature, a wholeness and I feel nowhere else. I think people should live where praying is most immediate. That`s why I live in New Mexico. The physical terrain, the feeling, the environment and culture improve my life just by waking up there.

So it`s always helped me to have a foundation, an ideal to strive for and goals. It`s hard for me to be disciplined and plan things.

Mark Twain was an artist working at the highest level. He wrote a book, his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, that put America on the world stage for literature. It's almost as if, if you start reading that book as a racist, you cannot finish it and still be a racist.

I went to public school in L.A., so I felt like I'd been in a coma for three years. I woke up, and moved to New York.

Warner Bros offered me the next Batman, and the only reason that I didn't do it was because of The Saint.

Peter Sellers was just a brilliant actor, and also comedic.
