“Studying cows, pigs and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn’t hiss or boo me.”

When an actor plays a scene exactly the way a director orders, it isn’t acting. It’s following instructions.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he’s dead, then maybe he was a great man.

Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.

I have a fairly adequate knowledge of Satanic forces.

The clouds are lined with silver and the glass is half full (though the answers won’t be found at the bottom) Don’t sweat the small stuff

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.

I don’t have to explain anything to anybody.

An hour or two of learning from the masters is usually enough to recharge my artistic batteries.

Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.

If I can keep this up and nothing interferes with my progress, one of these days I might be able to contribute something to the world.

You are who you are meant to be. Dance as if no one’s watching. Love as if it’s all you know. Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.

Whatever’s inside making me what I am, it’s like film. Film only works in the dark. Tear it all open and let in the light and you kill it.

To me, acting is the most logical way for people’s neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

Racing is the only time I feel whole.

In the short span of his lifetime, an actor must learn all there is to know, experience all there is to experience, or approach that state as closely as possible.

What better way to die? It’s fast and clean and you go out in a blaze of glory!

For ‘Conan,’ I had to eat boiled chicken breast and work out all the time and basically eat like a bird every two hours and stay ripped.

I don’t know which is more discouraging, literature or chickens.

My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man,

If you look at me close enough, there’s a small resemblance to a chicken nugget. I don’t know if it’s my skin texture or my hair, but the resemblance is definitely there.

I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.

I try to work out my mind more these days. I try to eat right. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, and I take the skin off chicken. But I’m not on no special diet. I like my steak and potatoes, ice cream, doughnuts.

Chicken fizz! O Lord, protect all of us who toil in the vineyards of experimental chemistry!

My family and I reside on a non-working farm, although we have a couple of horses and the usual stuff like pigs, cows, and chickens.
