People are always afraid of the truth.

I grew up in a gym in Miami, the one where Muhammad Ali trained. I had 142 amateur fights and lost three.

I don't mind getting punched in the nose by a guy standing in front of me. It's getting stabbed in the back that I can't handle.

Comeback is a good word, man.

I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.

I'm an old broken down piece of meat and I deserve to be all alone . . .

Hey, baby, nobody suffers like the poor.

A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.

I behaved worse than anybody for 15 years, and you have to pay the price for that. I used to blame other people, then therapy made me realise I had to change.

All that prosthetic makeup drains you. By the time it's lunch, you're done.

Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key.

Never allow any bitterness to take root in your heart.

When you are giving give with love and kindness.

Most people sort of enjoy going to work because of the socialisation, a chance to flirt with co-workers and so on, but actually hate the job they do.

Supposedly I haven't changed.

I'm trying to write stories that are interesting and enjoyable.

Promoting his new book, President Bush visited the headquarters of Facebook. Unfortunately, he spent the whole visit on Farmville, clearing brush.

Marathons are about tenacity as much as talent.

Acting is about enhancing your life, not representing something that's missing.

Nobody ever recognizes themselves unless they are not the character. There are many people who have claimed to be in my books, but unfortunately they were usually people that I didn't know.

I believe in being an innovator.
