Alcohol is a very patient drug. It will wait for the alcoholic to pick it up one more time.

A rich man can afford to be generous to many.

One of the cruelest judgments sustained against me is that I have spoken out as a recovered alcoholic to stimulate my acting career.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

'The Exorcist' is the scariest movie ever made. It just felt dead-on real, like you were watching the existence of the devil.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
