I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.
In this industry, there are only two ways up the ladder. Rung by rung or claw your way to the top. It's sure been tough on my nails.
Time keeps no measure when true friends are parted, No record day by day; the sands move not for those who, loyal-hearted, friendship's firm laws obey.
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
OK, the director makes the movie. But some movies can't get made without someone like me in them.
My point of view, while extremely cogent, is unpopular. . . . That the repressive nature of the legalities vis-a-vis drugs are destroying the legal system and corrupting the police system.
I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.
You can follow the action, which gets you good pictures. You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or, you can follow the money, which nine times out of ten will get you closer to the truth.
I don't even own a cell phone.
We are going as fast as we can as soon as we can. We're in a race against time, until we run out of money.
You have to do every movie one at a time. Trilogy is contrary to this ideology. My nightmare is to wake up and find myself the host of a TV series.
