Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key.
From Mickey Rourke
What I've got to do now is let them judge me for who I am as an actor and not for my notoriety.
I never look backwards. I have always been an athlete. I boxed before I acted.
You know, back in acting school they always teach you, 'Make bold choices and look for activities that are interesting.'
When I first met Alan Parker, who directed 'Angel Heart,' he'd heard so many horror stories about me that he was literally scared to death of me. Right away, he sat me down and said, 'I'm very scared of you. I've heard you're a very bad boy.'
Wrestling and boxing is like Ping-Pong and rugby. There's no connection.
I was very immature when I was young, and for me there was no balance. Everything was just all or nothing.
All that prosthetic makeup drains you. By the time it's lunch, you're done.
I grew up in a gym in Miami, the one where Muhammad Ali trained. I had 142 amateur fights and lost three.
Sometimes, when a man is alone, that's all you got is your dog.
