I Don't Care What Tom Cruise Says

Wrestling And Boxing Is Like Ping-pong And Rugby. There's No Connection.

By The End Of The Shoot [of Wrestler], My Trainer Was Pushing Me Up Three Flights Of Stairs To My House And Holding My Arm Like I Was An Old Cripple. I Had Three Mris In The First Two Months Of Working On The Film. I Felt Like It Really Was Over By The Time We Started Shooting The Movie.

I Still Work Out Most Days. When I Do It, I Go Full Blast Five Or Six Days A Week, Two To Three Hours A Day. I Enjoy It. It's Therapeutic For Me.

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.

When I Did Sean Penn’s Movie, I Think I Was Living In, Like, A $500-a-month Room, And Someone Called Me Up Or Bumped Into Me And Asked Me If I’d Come Up To Work For A Day. That Sort Of Got Me Going A Little Bit. But It Wasn’t Until Sin City [2005] That I Kind Of Got Back Into The Game.
