I just want to say, good night, sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
The void, the concept of nothingness, is terrifying to most people on the planet. And I get anxiety attacks myself. I know the fear of that void. You have to learn to die before you die. You give up, surrender to the void, to nothingness.
I've received a lot of compliments. People come right up to me on the street. They recognize me.
I'm just dealing with what's happening, with what is. Joy, happiness, good, bad, all those terms are meaningless to me.
You get older. In the end, you end up accepting everything in your life - suffering, horror, love, loss, hate - all of it.
I'm big into Eastern concepts. The horror of life, the love of children, the whole phantasmagoria - it's all meaningless. Be still, and see what happens. All of life unfolds perfectly. You have to get beyond consciousness.
'Pretty In Pink' was a huge hit for me.

'Paris, Texas' is the first film that I've totally cared about, the first movie I totally wanted to do - and that after 27 years that I considered my prison term.
I'm not really into religion.
I realized early on that if I became an actor, I could play a writer and a sculptor and a painter and be all the things you just don't have time to be in your lifetime. I could get to learn about all of them.
'Alien?' Oh, yeah. I still get fanmail almost every week, pictures from all over the world on that movie. That's one of the most popular films I've done.
Study up on the Eastern religions. They're the only ones that are realistic. There's no answer, see.
The most terrifying thing for most everybody in the whole Western World is to take responsibility for your own life and to experience real freedom.
I am not into any religions. I have been mostly influenced by Eastern religions - Taoism, the essence of Hinduism and Buddhism. But my belief is not having any beliefs.
I like to watch 'Paris, Texas,' but I have no desire to see it. I did it.
You want people walking away from the conversation with some kernel of wisdom or some kind of impact.
I watch television. Game shows - I hate the hosts and the people on them, and I love the questions and the answers.
I do the same series of five exercises 21 times each day - an ancient Tibetan practice that stimulates your chakras.
