Mickey Rourke Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Mickey Rourke:

I started out fighting before I was acting, actually, then got hurt and got into the acting.

I didn't have a childhood, really, because I worked my whole life and... other reasons. So when I had some success, I went ballistic. That was my childhood, and the party kept going on.

All I am hoping for is to be able to work - I think my best work is still ahead of me - I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor.

Mickey Rourke

I behaved worse than anybody for 15 years, and you have to pay the price for that. I used to blame other people, then therapy made me realise I had to change.

Evan Rachel Wood is the best actress I've ever worked with, hands down.

It was either therapy or die.

Mickey Rourke

I did think for many, many years that because of my ability I could beat the system. And I was wrong.

Years ago I realized that maybe I made mistake, politically, when I turned a lot of that stuff down. I would go off to obscure places and make movies that six people went to see.

Mickey Rourke

What I've got to do now is let them judge me for who I am as an actor and not for my notoriety.

I never look backwards. I have always been an athlete. I boxed before I acted.

All that prosthetic makeup drains you. By the time it's lunch, you're done.

I started to shortcircuit because I had high aspirations for the film. I never told anybody that.

I had a bonding problem when I went off and boxed for five years. I was over in Europe and Asia fighting because I wanted to do something different; I was tired of acting. But the thing is, when I was done doing that, I couldn't get a job.

Mickey Rourke

I don't care what Tom Cruise says about therapy.

A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.

It's the formulaic studio movies the make money, and when they do, the actors in them are automatically movie stars.

Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key.

I trained like an animal, but the thing is focus and concentration. When the bell rings it's like when the little red light goes on over the camera. And I can usually nail my lines on the first or second take because I'm right there.

Mitch Glazer and I went to high school together, and his mother was my English teacher for two years. She was my favorite teacher, and I followed Mitch's career as a journalist, so we've kind of kept in touch over the years.

Mickey Rourke

The acclaim I'm getting for 'The Wrestler' means everything in the world to me. But it also means I can't take my foot off the gas pedal.

I'm the worst surfer in California. My balance is off from boxing.
