kept life party success worked
I didn't have a childhood, really, because I worked my whole life and... other reasons. So when I had some success, I went ballistic. That was my childhood, and the party kept going on.
godfather love
I love the first Godfather movie, part one. And two.
life maybe might
I don't have many Hollywood friends anyway; I thought with my ability I didn't need to make those kind of relationships, but maybe I should have done. Might have made my life easier!
formula gonna movies next
I'm not gonna rush out and see the next 'Batman;' I'm not big on formula movies.
hey world empires
It's always been the case that you have the really rich, and the really poor. But hey, look, all the great empires have their periods where they rule the world, and then they crumble.

I have a really good relationship with a lot of designers. I like Gaultier, Billionaire and Cavalli.
fun years talking
I had some things I had to fix. It took me 14 years to do it. But it was never really fun back in the day to work with directors who were a lot older and were like authoritarian and talking to you like that.
therapy dies
It was either therapy or die.

I thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
mistake hands years
Years ago I realized that maybe I made mistake, politically, when I turned a lot of that stuff down. I would go off to obscure places and make movies that six people went to see.

Wrestling and boxing is like Ping-Pong and rugby. There's no connection.
reputation hard
A reputation is really hard to live down.
makeup lunch done
All that prosthetic makeup drains you. By the time it's lunch, you're done.
empty room sit
When you lose everything, and I mean everything, you sit there in this empty room in the dark, and the only person who can get you out is you.
