| Quotes: |
People need something to fill their papers, and I'm happy to provide.
<br />
<hr>
Good judgement comes from experience. Sometimes, experience comes from bad judgement.
<br />
<hr>
I've always been fond of Winona Ryder.
<br />
<hr>
[on being accused of copying Jack Nicholson] If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?
<br />
<hr>
It still amazes me when I look at some of the films I've been a part of, and some of the people I've gotten to meet and work with. I also look back sometimes and realize that I was lucky to have lived through them and even to have survived them, at times. |
