If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he’s dead, then maybe he was a great man.
You are who you are meant to be. Dance as if no one’s watching. Love as if it’s all you know. Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.
I’m a serious-minded and intense little devil – terribly gauche and so tense that I don’t see how people can stay in the same room as me. I know I couldn’t tolerate myself.
Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated.
I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.
Remember: Life is short, break the rules.
The only greatness for man is immortality.
The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.
I wouldn’t like me, if I had to be around me.
My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.
Whatever’s inside making me what I am, it’s like film. Film only works in the dark. Tear it all open and let in the light and you kill it.
To me, acting is the most logical way for people’s neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.
I’m not going to go through life with one arm tied behind my back.
If you’re not afraid, if you take everything you are, everything worthwhile in you and direct it at one goal, one ultimate mark, you’ve got to get there.
I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Racing is the only time I feel whole.
Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that’s all you have.
Studying cows, pigs and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn’t hiss or boo me.
Take it easy driving– the life you save may be mine.
