While they’d be setting up shots, suddenly, there were 17 make-up chicks, just listening to Marlon telling these amazing stories that were probably lies. He was a fascinating individual. I learned a lot from him.
I do trust women. I have a lot of women in my life. I have a mother. I have a woman. There’s a lot of women around me. And I do trust them. And they trust me, as far as I know.
Life’s pretty good, and why wouldn’t it be? I’m a pirate, after all.
My beef was with essentially being a product. I didn’t want to be a product, so I tried to get fired, but they didn’t fire me, which was weird.
Better to not know which moment may be your last. Every morsel of your entire being alive to the infinite mystery of it all.

I really approached the film as if it was a white big piece of paper and I was going to draw a picture on it. And whether that picture was good or bad, whatever people thought of it, what they could never take away was that it was my picture.
It’s good to experience Hollywood in short bursts, I guess. Little snippets. I don’t think I can handle being here all the time, it’s pretty nutty.
