You know, be an actor because you love to act. Don't be an actor because you think you're going to get famous, because that's luck.

I'm actually about as famous as a fourth division footballer from the 70s.

I didn't know what to expect from a famous movie star maybe that he'd be sort of stuck-up, you know. But not Gary Cooper. He horsed around so much... that I had a hard time painting him.

I don't really consider myself to be famous.

I was obsessed with being rich and famous.

Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.

I remember, when I was an up-and-coming comic, how annoyed I would be when the famous guys would show up and just take everyone's spots.

The good thing about L.A. is that there's always someone more famous 100 yards away from me.

Exploitation films were famous for taking an issue an exploiting it because they could move much faster than a studio could. If there was any hot topic, they would run out and make a quick movie and make a buck on it, by changing it around and using it, in some way, to give some relevance.

The people I want are very famous and very rich, and all I can offer them is a bit of exposure on TV and a bit of cash, so it's a miracle we get any guests at all. But we have been very lucky.
