After the breakup of his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, “I'm
single and I'm in the place where I can find my own spiritual self and not be weighed down.”
"To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal,
to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new."
“I welcomed the idea of bad reviews because that would mean
I was doing something that challenged the critics. I thought I could change acting, which isn’t really my goal anymore.
But at that time I was headstrong.”
"As a teen-ager I was more of an anarchist, but now I want people
to thrive and be harmonious."
"Passion is very important to me. If you stop enjoying things,
you've got to look at it, because it can lead to all kinds of depressing scenarios."
"Shock is still fun. I won't ever shut the door on it."
"I was always shocked when I went to the doctor's office and they
did my X-ray and didn't find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green." [on feeling
different from friends as a kid]
"My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically
inside me somewhere."
"It's a family that's loaded with grudges and passion. We come
from a long line of robbers and highwaymen in Italy, you know. Killers, even."
"I cry a lot. My emotions are very close to my surface. I don't
want to hold anything in so it it festers and turns into pus - a pustule of emotion that explodes into a festering cesspool
of depression."
"Classes were always a bore to me. I wanted to learn things on
my own, not by presentations.I was a loudmouth and a clown. It came as a surprise to me, later, that I could be serious and
still get attention."
"One of the first signs of being depressed is that you lose interest
in things. That's why I think it is important to stay passionate."
