My parents were dishonest people. If it was my birthday, I knew my mother took me to the K-Mart and she stole my toy. She'd put it in the shopping cart and we'd walk out. I was raised with that.

I don't trust or love anyone. Because people are so creepy. Creepy creepy creeps. Creeping around. Creeping here and creeping there. Creeping everywhere.

I don't drink any coffee or take any drugs and I don't smoke cigarettes and I don't eat sugar and I don't take any medicine at all. I eat a lot of fish, vegetables, and I stay away from starches.

I never apologized for anything in my life. The only thing I'm sorry about is putting a curse on Roger Ebert's colon. If a fat pig like Roger Ebert doesn't like my movie, then I'm sorry for him.

I'm the happiest the saddest guy in the world can be.

I never wanted to be an actor. I never want to be an actor. I want to be a movie star. The whole idea of having to act is too gruesome. It's too ambitious for me.

I constantly try to reinvent my sensibilities and my ideas. I enjoy some of the satisfaction that I get when I feel good about what I've done. But the process is quite lonely and quite painful.

I want to thank Gus Van Sant for selling out so that I could use his editor Curtis Clayton, who did a great job.

I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings. And I did it out of spite.

I am available to all women - all women who can afford me, that is.

I'm sort of like a maniac, and I can't get out of it.

Wolves and Doves mate for life. I hope in the next life I am one of the two.

Living with a saint is more grueling than being one.

Love is a boomerang that returns to the thrower's hand.

I have never, in all my life, been so odious as to regard myself as 'superior' to any living being, human or animal. I just walked alone - as I have always walked alone.

How spiritually blind are men that they fail to see that we are bound together. We rise or fall together; we are dwarfed or godlike, free or chained, together.

It will be a beautiful family talk, mean and worried and full of sorrow and spite and excitement.

It's fun to take a piece of formula and go someplace else with it and see what happens.

You know, the fact that every morning you get a script in your mailbox, that's going to stop. All these little pedestrian, mundane things. And the cash.

I'm a thousand times bigger on the inside than I am on the outside.

Generally my day-to-day is pretty much the same. Just busy and working and on tour. And trying to put on the best show possible every night.
