Hollywood's like a warehouse. It's just a place that you go. What's interesting in the warehouse has to do with the creative people.

A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything.

It may or may not sound pretentious. But I`ve turned down, consciously and specifically, many jobs I knew would have been a pretty surefire way to go about making a lot of money, being recognized and gaining power in the industry.

My perception is that I've never done anything but work really hard.

I sang the songs in 'The Doors'.

It`s probably fair to say I have taken myself too seriously on some jobs. I`m sure I`m more guilty of being difficult than I`d like to remember. I don`t regret my desires; I`ve regretted the way I would communicate my desires. Maybe I`ve lost a job because of some rumor, I doubt it. But nobody good that I`ve worked with has ever said anything negative about me, because we`ve never had a negative experience. By good, I mean directors who do their homework, people that are passionate, crazy, never sleep, and do like I do and just go after it.

Mark Twain is a voice of truth and a voice of equality and a voice of tolerance. Which means he is a voice of love.
