I Couldn't Direct Traffic. It's Hard Enough

I Probably Did A Dozen Plays, Like Off-off-broadway Stuff.

Julian Schnabel Painted A Picture That He Dedicated To My Character In Rumble Fish. It Was Called The Motorcycle Boy. I Remember When He Brought It Over To Me At The Mayflower Hotel [in New York] Years Ago. This Is When You And I Knew Each Other.

The Two Sports Are As Different As Ping-pong And Rugby. In Boxing, You Don’t Know What’s Going To Happen. In Wrestling, It’s Already Prearranged. But The Thing I Didn’t Know About Wrestling Is That You Really Get Hurt. Because, You Know, You’re Wrestling In Front Of A Live Audience, And You End Up Doing Things Like Jumps Or Slams, And 40 Percent Of The Time You Don’t Land Right.

People Ask Me About That All The Time. They Say, "did You Ever Think Of Directing?" And I Say, "it's Completely Out Of The Question."
