A lot of people have asked me how short I am. Since my last divorce, I think I'm about $100,000 short.

I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.
liars games passing-away
Someone once asked me what I want on my epitaph when I pass away. Just the words 'I tried.' That's what this game of life is all about. Trying. There's the tryers, the criers, and the liars.

The film The Last Temptation of Christ, no matter what its defenders say, was a slap in the face to Christians everywhere.

I'm 74 but I feel like I'm 35. And it isn't work. You know what it is? It's fun, absolute fun. I don't know many people who are fortunate enough to be in a business like that.

Always get married in the morning. That way if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day.

I've been short all my life. And if anyone wonders what my dying wish will be, they can stop wondering. That will be easy. I'll just tell them, 'I'll have a short bier.'

If I ever complain to an agent about anything, he always has a pained look on his face, like, "How can you be so ungrateful? Why, Mick, I just named my yacht after you!"
fun reading together
I don't pick the roles. Your agent gets a call for you and you go and they all get together, everybody has fun at the reading, and they say, "There's chemistry here." So that's how it happens.
