“I have no idea what my best work is.”

“The first day, you're the monster. You're the monster. 'He's the monster.'”

“Every night, I would pray, 'Please, God, let me be a movie star.'”

“I'm a Catholic, but I'm not a maniac.”

“The most romantic thing is to have a schedule and to make sure you stick to it.”

“What I do is I try to be as dumb as possible. It's much easier for me.”
