Mickey Rourke

It's no fun being a loser. Trust me.

I'm only as rich as my next film.

I'm the worst surfer in California. My balance is off from boxing.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

Two more years were to go by before I knew anything about William Blake. Many years later, when his wife died, my godfather gave me the two books as a remembrance.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
