Ow, John Wayne. I never considered him much of an actor, much less a director. Wayne was just a personality - I mean, I'm a personality, too, but he was all personality. I refused to call him 'Duke' or brown-nose around him like everybody else. One day he was telling me how to do a scene a certain way, and I said, 'John, maybe that's the way you'd do it, but it's not the way I'm gonna do it.' 'Hey, I've been in this business for 40 years and I was a star for most of that time.' I said, 'I don't care how long you've been in the business - you've never learned a fucking thing.' He looked at me and turned around and walked away ... He kind of admired me, and we drank together every night after work. But during work, we avoided each other. That picture shot for a long time - three months. Hide

I lost it all. And I am very, very bitter about it ... The biggest mistake I ever made was discovering women. I only wish society had been as free and easy when I was coming along as it is today because if that had been the case I wouldn't have been married. Three women in my life utterly destroyed me. Hide

[on Sweet Savage (1979)] I wanted, I guess, to see what it was all about - a kind of half-assed adventure, you know? It was also a kind of vacation for me in a bad time - a nice location in Arizona - and I picked up a few thousand bucks. After it came out, a few people wagged their fingers at me - 'Oh-ho-ho, you dirty dog' - but I knew I hadn't done anything wrong. They shot all the sex stuff after I'd flown back to L.A. I won the adult film Oscar for that, by the way, but somebody copped it. Hide
