"For me, acting is not an all-consuming thing, except for the moment when I am actually doing it." "Take any picture you can. One out of four will be good, one out of ten will be very good, and one out of fifteen will get you an Academy Award." "Movie acting may not have a certain kind of glory as true art, but it is damn hard work." "I don't really know why, but danger has always been an important thing in my life - to see how far I could lean without falling, how fast I could go without cracking up." "I'm a whore, all actors are whores. We sell our bodies to the highest bidder."
