I refused to beat my head against stone, of course.

Asylum was good exposure for me and it is still shown quite often on television. I remember the special effects people had fun making a little doll that looked like me - which is not so easy - and it had to move along the floor.

It was wonderful to play such a part, but I was disappointed with the picture.

You know, I always do my best, no matter the quality of the film.

They didn't have the money to keep Christopher Lee long enough to play his scenes with me.

I refused to beat my head against stone, of course.

The guillotine was most effective and used until fairly recently.

My father did irrigation jobs, and I would sometimes accompany him, and that gave me a taste of what was going on in the innards of India.

One thing I have learned in my time in politics is that if one of the parties is shameless, the other party cannot afford to be spineless.

I suppose my father was more influential in my starting to play the guitar.

I was in a choir as a kid. It was from those early days that my outlook on harmonies and arrangements were nurtured. I always took that with me, even on the earliest Bad Religion record, which strangely was only about six years after that.

There will come a day when I can no longer run. Today is not that day.

Though sleep is called our best friend, it is a friend who often keeps us waiting!

There is a price for popularity. Critics look for your weaknesses, your flaws, anything that makes the work seem like a fluke and not seem worthy of all the attention it's getting.

Love is the greatest refreshment in life.

I hate people.

I don't believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

Everything I've always done has been for the sole purpose of increasing my lovemaking output. A lot of guys won't admit that, but I do. I just want to make love.

So I think that entropy is underappreciated as something that has a crucial role in how we go through life.

I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set.

Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.

It is often useful, if an enemy happens to see you, to pretend that you have not seen him. Or it may sometimes be useful to pretend that you have other men with you. I did this once in the Boer War when, having crept up a donga to look at a Boer fort, I was seen by the enemy, and they came out to capture me.

Though finally overwhelmed by a preening lassitude, 'Hotel' is never less than fascinating, breaking into multiscreen scenarios like Mr. Figgis's 2000 experiment, 'Timecode.'

I would much prefer to be a judge than a coal miner because of the absence of falling coal.

I'm good at being on my own. As a kid, I was always in my room alone, so I have a high threshold for it. If I'm bored, I'll read. Hanging around doesn't go well with me.

You can't do psychological thrillers. There's no audience. I've heard this. I've heard this from studios.

Keeping your private life as private as possible is the smartest thing.

There is always the underground rapper people enjoy, and you want to see him come up. That's kind of how it is in wrestling.
