She wasn't worth the effort. Her boyfriend can have her back.
I started out fighting before I was acting, actually, then got hurt and got into the acting.

I used to love playing football in high school. I played with the same guys for 10 years.

Sometimes the independent movies can get a little too arty-farty. You watch the IFC Channel and you want to throw up. You don't always have to take things so serious, you know.

Once you've been somebody, really, you have a career and you're a nobody anymore, and you're getting older, you're living what's called a state of shame.

They have great strip clubs in Austin, Texas, so I would have my fan club... I would have the girls come up and we would, ah... talk.

I love the first Godfather movie, part one. And two.
I'm only as rich as my next film.
I loved my mother, but I don't like her.

In Hollywood, you're always playing roles... It's like going through the motions. But in real life, it's like, you gotta take care of business. It's not just the movies.

Doing physical or fighting scenes in movies is really the hardest part, so wherever I could have the stunt guy do it, I'd prefer to have him do it.
anyone compromise director maintain studio
I try to find the right director who won't compromise his or anyone else's integrity, and yet be political enough to give the studio what they want, yet put up a fight to maintain that integrity.
acting enjoyed fun funny happiest living time
It was the most fun I've ever had on a movie. It was one of the happiest times in my life. I was living in New York, and I really enjoyed acting at the time. Also, it's funny because that was also the time when I went downhill.
