It took me a long time to be convinced that marriage was right for me because I’ve come from a long line of broken marriages. My parents divorced, and I had two broken marriages myself.
I watch a lot of news, and I watch musical shows because I think the music of the young people is really their news reports. They let you know how their country is going through their eyes, and about their experiences in the everyday shock of growing up.
I wish I had thought of Velcro muscles myself. I didn’t have to go to the gym for all those years, all the hours wedded to the iron game, as we call it.
I was on cruise control from ’85 to ’95, and it was my fault. There were a lot of self-inflicted wounds, when I was not doing any original material. I wasn’t directing. I wasn’t writing. That’s not who I am.
I want to turn my attention to movies about love relationships. Exploring the female psyche – there ought to be some interesting discoveries there. Love stories. If you do it right, people want to hear romantic dialog.
I used to tweet, but it’s an act of futility. You’re not really making any impact, and if you find yourself in a mood when you wanna be a bit controversial and you post something, you suddenly realise, ‘Oh my God!’ because you’ve opened yourself up to a bunch of criticism from strangers.
Rocky is a very predictable movie. The ending is a foregone conclusion.
There’s no one in the world close to Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is a phenomenon. He’s brilliant. Just because his physique belies that, don’t underestimate him.
Voices are like fingerprints, from Cagney to Bogart. They never lost it. My voice is instrumental in categorizing me.
Movies are the work of a collective conscious. It takes 500-800 people on a movie to complete a vision.
Like I said, I’ve got too much respect for women to marry them, but that doesn’t mean you can’t support them emotionally and financially.
Life is more than sunglasses and hit movies. Reality – that’s the main event.
I’ve had a lot of operations. I’m kind of like Franken-actor.
Sometimes when I don’t want to cry, I cry. And when I want to I can’t. It’s subconscious. Like sexual performance.
I’m perceived to be this solitary character, but nothing could be further from the truth.
I’m not right wing, I’m not left wing. I love my country.
I’m not just painting for painting’s sake. I want to be truthful.
If I’d made it right away as an actor, I would’ve stopped at a certain level and stayed there, probably as a character actor.
I think I’m a much better painter than an actor.
My favorite snack would have to be Fritos, no doubt about it. Fritos and mayonnaise. I know. Really healthy, isn’t it?
