You can handle just about anything that comes at you out on the road with a believable grin, common sense and whiskey.
And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.' So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
When I feel like I'm stuck, I do something - not like I'm Mother Teresa or anything, but there's someone that's forgotten about in your life, all the time. Someone that could use an 'Attaboy' or a 'How you doin' out there.
Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself.
And even if we win, if we win, HAH! Even if we win! Even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if God in Heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from Mohawk because they've got all the money! It just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER! It just doesn't matter! It just doesn't matter!
I act like a jerk sometimes.
Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
People usually go through a bad period when they first get successful. You're new and you're hot and things go wrong.
When you act obnoxious towards people, like on a movie set, they say "we're ready for you" and I say "oh, go to hell, my feet hurt and my head aches." You want to have a margarita for lunch, and people like these little ADs and production assistants are like, "well, he's drinking again."
I didn't get into this position by being like a stiff sitting on the set in a folding chair. I did it by walking around on the streets and stirring things up.
I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.
Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.
I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.
I don't really read the reviews - but I remember one I read a long time ago that said I had a face like a potato.
