I'm less interested in skin than in fascia -- connective tissue.

Somebody like Mailer brings to that role everything that he stands for. The types of characters that I gravitate towards, the types of icons, tend to have a heavy physicality in that way.

I don't think my work is so strange. It's just a matter of having the discipline to go the whole way with an idea, to stretch it as far as it can go.

A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn't have an ego when it's wanting to throw up. It just does it

Jackass: The Movie is great. I think it's in the tradition of physical comedy, which I'm really interested in. Its relationship to gravity, and how gravity acts on the body

A lot of these angles are really about trying to mimic broadcast sports angles in order to anchor the scene, to sort of normalize it before it becomes abstracted.

Your purpose will fuel your hope.

That's one thing you learn in sports. You don't give up you fight to the finish.

I'm sure that the standard of public morality we've helped build will force government in Canada to approve complete health insurance.

I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.

I'm all about nightlife. I live during the night.

And I'd watch George C. Scott from backstage. He was one of my mentors.

Messi. 86 goals in calendar year and still 3 games to play! Best to ever play the game in my opinion just edges Maradona.

I'd always assumed I was the central character in my own story, but now it occured to me I might in fact be only a minor character in someone else's.

I’m sick of being everyone’s regret. My mother died in shame because she’d borne me. My father and brother despise me and my sister can barely look me in the eye! (Acheron)

You have to remember, Frank Sinatra is 82 years old, which is 240 in your years. He's lived three lifetimes! He has good and bad days. He can't run ... around as fast as he used to.
