“When you hear something you don't like, don't ever play it again.”

“When a family breaks you don't hear the crack of the breaking. You don't hear a sound.”

“Play it like something you hear down by the river.”

“If you don't like vampire games, don't play”

“When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all.”

“Wanna hear my voice? You better play it again and again”

“Yes, I know," "And I love to hear you say it, Louis. I need to hear you say it. I don't think anyone will ever say it quite like you do. Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!”

“Don't ever write anything you don't like yourself and if you do like it, don't take anyone's advice about changing it. They just don't know.”

“Dying should come easy:
like a freight train you
don't hear when
your back is

“I was told once that I didn't play the Hollywood game, and that's why I wasn't a big star. What they meant when they said that was that I don't go to parties, and when I go to an audition and I don't like the script, they know it. I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with. In the next breath, this person said to me, ‘When you're passionate about a role, there's nobody that can touch you, but you have to learn to do this also…’ But I don't know how to sit there and pretend I love something when I don't!”
