I am not a demon. I am a lizard, a shark, a heat-seeking panther. I want to be Bob Denver on acid playing the accordion. |
To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal, to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new. |
Passion is very important to me. If you stop enjoying things, you've got to look at it, because it can lead to all kinds of depressing scenarios. |
There's a fine line between the Method actor and the schizophrenic. |
As a teenager I was more of an anarchist, but now I want people to thrive and be harmonious. |
I was always shocked when I went to the doctor's office and they did my X-ray and didn't find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green. |
I think I jump around more when I'm alone. |
It's a family that's loaded with grudges and passion. We come from a long line of robbers and highwaymen in Italy, you know. Killers, even. |
Hollywood didn't know if I was an actor or a nut or if I was this crazy character I was playing. I had developed an image of being a little bit unusual, different and wild. |
I wanted to make an image for myself as an outlaw type. A kind of rock 'n' roll sensibility. |
Shock is still fun. I won't ever shut the door on it. |
I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place. |
My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere. |
I try to do as many stunts as they'll let me do. I think it's important for an audience to feel that the actor's really doing it. |
