As repressed sadists are supposed to become policemen or butchers so those with an irrational fear of life become publishers.

Only a fool does not fear actors but you can't beat them and if you can't beat them join them as they say. As I've got older I've become very interested in that part of the work.

People don't know where to place me. Terry Gilliam used me as a quirky cop in 'Twelve Monkeys' and then he hired me again to be an effeminate hotel clerk in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Another time I was shooting this indie film 'The Souler Opposite' and six days a week I'm playing this big puppy dog then I come to the 'NYPD Blue' set and become this scumbag.

As long as enough people can be frightened then all people can be ruled. That is how it works in a democratic system and mass fear becomes the ticket to destroy rights across the board.

No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

Hate is the consequence of fear we fear something before we hate it a child who fears noises becomes a man who hates noise.

That save from Pele's header was the best I ever made. I didn't have any idea how famous it would become - to start with I didn't even realise I'd made it at all.

Indy makes the race driver. You become famous when you come here.

When you reach a certain status in Hollywood you have to play a lot of games to stay in the limelight. It becomes more about being famous than being an actor.

When you become famous you start getting invites to parties where there are famous athletes and famous rock stars politicians people who have tremendous power and affluence. It's not in my DNA but certainly I have been exposed to it.

People seldom become famous for what they say until after they are famous for what they've done.

I think actors are divided into two groups: one that wants to be an actor to become famous and rich and the other that wants to be an actor because they have to be. I'm more in the second group.

I heard so many stories from Gaomi's peasants that I had an irrepressible urge to write them down. Today Gaomi's peasants know that they have become famous around the world through my writings but I think they are a little puzzled by this.

It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress but it's all about not limiting myself such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.

Celebrity culture it's everywhere isn't it? It's reality TV Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?

When someone becomes successful or rich and famous people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.
