Just The Dream Of Every Aging Has-been

I Was Saying To Paul Schrader That He Missed The Idealism And The Passion Of That Era In Hollywood, But Also In American Life, That '60s Sense Of Optimism And Hope.

I'm Not Really Into Horror Movies.

I Don't Buy Into Any Of That Hogwash. They Put That Out To Sell Tickets. It's Just A Classic Horror Movie, With The Greek Drama Formula Of Good Versus Evil, And Lots Of Fear.

I Guess I Came To Terms With My Demons. Or Else I'd Be In Big Trouble, Wouldn't I? Horrifying As It Was To Crack Up In The Public Eye, It Made Me Look At Myself And Fix It. People Were Exploitative; That's Human Nature. I'll Tell You, Being Pretty Crazy While Being Chased By The National Enquirer Is Not Good. The British Tabloids Were The Worst. But You Take The Cards You're Dealt, And I Got Better. I'm Now Ferociously Healthy In Body And Mind. You Couldn't Pay Me To Go Near A Psychiatrist Again. Stopping Seeing Them Was My First Step To Getting Well.

I Remember When We Were Doing The Love Scene In Some Kind Of Hero, We Got In Bed Nervously. Then He Looked Up, And It Was Very Genuine, And He Went, " Richard Pryor's In Bed With Lois Lane!" And It Was So Cute!
