People who are always taking care of their health are like misers who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.

I'd like to end up sort of unforgettable.

I want each and every entire brushstroke to be seen. I want the marks made by the tip of the brush to carry as much meaning as the marks made by the dragging tail end, the part that splits open as the paint pulls away, thins and dries.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

I'm constantly listening to music and thinking about it and compiling my own cassettes and CDs in obsessively specific order. I have quite lunatic agendas for what I want to achieve. They won't make sense to anyone other than me, but it is what I've spent most of my life doing.

It is wrong to use equal language for unequal actions.

Time is a perpetual motion, without a single moment of rest.

There was a close relationship between Mandela and the CBC.

It is very reasonable to worry about the harm done by organized religion, and to prefer looser and more private arrangements.

Materialism has never been so ominous as now in North America, as management takes over.

I guess there are very few actors that I've worked with that I would like to work with again. You never think you'll have that chance and, if we didn't do Italian Job together, there wouldn't be another one that could be right.

Fall seven times, stand up eight.

When you're a working actor and you're happy to be one, you can't focus all your energy on acting because you will go crazy. You have to focus as much energy as you can away from yourself.
