I can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this; it just doesn't feel right at my age.
I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do
Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great "literateur" of his time.
Because you know, down deep in my heart, when all is said and done, I still live under the illusion that basically people think of me as an up-and-coming young actor.
How would I like to be seen? Very endearing, charming, intelligent, handsome.
Kids are life's only guaranteed, bona fide upside surprise.
I'm a scamp. I don't deny it. I like myself.
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh yeah, they're gonna talk to you and talk to you and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.
I was particularly proud of my performance as the Joker. I considered it a piece of pop art.
If you're going to write, write one poem all your life, let nobody read it, and then burn it. This is very young thinking, I confess, but it is the seminal part of my life.
Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.
Life doesn't have to be about finding Osama bin Laden or becoming the president of the United States. Life is about the little things, which is one of the things you learn when you get older.
There's no point dwelling on what might or could have been. You just have to go forward.
