Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.

As long as I’m in this city, I’m a lightning rod, … People don’t like me for a lot of reasons and I create all of them. I love it when they hate me. All my closest friends hate me.

You should see the eyes of some of those children when I say to them we’re going to have to open your head up and take out this tumor. They’re not happy about it, believe me. And they don’t like me very much at that point. But later on, they love me.

For your information, I’m staying like this, and everyone else can just get used to it! If people don’t like me the way I am, well TOUGH BEANS! It’s a free country! I don’t need anyone’s permission to be the way I want! This is who I am – Take it or leave it!

Producers generally don’t like me; directors do, generally. Convincing the producers is hard. They can’t see the commercial value behind such a face, nor would they get a commercial value, necessarily – and I don’t mean that in a good way or a bad way.

If people don’t like me, I become very plain.
