When life hits you pretty hard, you can go into a dark corner.

There's a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone.

I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.

I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.

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.

People that spend time in a foxhole - they're never going to find that relationship anywhere else again... Everything else pales next to that. When you think about the Second World War vets - more than even the Vietnam vets - there's a brotherhood.

I try to combine in my paintings cinematic feeling, emotional feeling, and sometimes actually writing on the page to combine all the different elements of communication.

It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.

People don't realize that when they 'throw out' their back, it's often because of weak abs. These muscles are essential for lower-back strength and good posture.

Movies are the work of a collective conscious. It takes 500-800 people on a movie to complete a vision.

Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.

When I was in junior high school, the teachers voted me the student most likely to end up in the electric chair.

In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can't control a nine-year-old girl.

I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.

When I was a kid, my mother used to feed me mashed-potato sandwiches, brussel sprout sandwiches; my brain cells were starving from lack of food. I'll eat anything. I'll eat dirt.

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.

Suddenly I've got an overwhelming desire to surround myself with the aura of classical and Romantic art.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.

There aren't a lot of opportunities for that rite of passage that makes you a man. War is one of them, and violent sports are another.

I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism.

There might have been a period around 'Tango & Cash' when I was nearly fashionable. My problem is that my weight's always been changing for the movies I'm in.

I have tons of regrets, but I think that's one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers.

I just fight in my movies, never in real life.
