I think we need to take responsibility for the things we put on this planet, and also take responsibility for the things we take off the planet. We need to have limiters on how far we allow ourselves to go - ethical, moral limiters.
I'll go to Mars, even if I got there and died on the way back. It's just the opportunity. How many people can say they went to Mars?
How many times have your parents told you not to do things, and the next thing you know, you go do it? And you realized you shouldn't have done it.
I'll talk to Howard Stern about anything. I listen to him every day. I love him. When you go on his show, you kind of have to be an open book.
It's why real men just go out in the woods and howl. I must do it and get paid.
In earlier years, I was more of a clown with a big bag of tricks. I'd show up in the studio and kind of go, 'Well, what do you want? Do you want the screaming banshee or the howling owl?'
If beautiful movies can influence you to go out and hug your children, then we have to be honest and say that other movies can inspire you to do bad things.
I don't feel I'm fighting to reach this huge audience; it just happens. I go on stage before the audience arrives and look out to this vast empty house. There's something therapeutic about taking in the ring where you'll perform.
Whereas European films have traditionally been able to go into adult relationships. I think there's a huge audience in America for those kinds of films.
I think I can pretty much do it all for a team. And I'm looking forward to whatever team I go to, making a huge impact.
It's the weirdest thing. When you go into acting, you expect to be a huge star and to be recognized... It did happen, but not in the way you expect it to... In L.A., I'm just another character actor.
Everywhere I go, particularly when there's people who know me or recognize me, I get the warmest hugs and happiest sighs full of hope and full of relief.
I'd like to change what people expect. I want to evoke something that's not nameable, for people to go, 'Huh?'
People always expect Hulk Hogan to be standing up straight, or to have the bandanna on, or to not have my arms covered up. If I have an extra large shirt on people go 'oh yeah you look small.' It kind of ruins the mystique.
I heard stories from my mother's mother who was an American Indian. She was spiritual, although she did not go to church, but she had the hum. She used to tell me stories of the rivers.
When I'm recording, I usually just mumble and hum a melody and then fill the words in as I go.
In acting, I always try to go back to what would actually be the real situation, the real human behavior in life.
To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body - both go together, they can't be separated.
It's the way the human brain works: when enough events occur in a pattern, we stop thinking and go into macro mode.
Economic growth and human development need to go hand in hand. Human values need to be advocated vigorously.
