More quotes by Mickey Rourke
Wrestling and boxing is like Ping-Pong and rugby. There's no connection.
Mickey Rourke
Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting.
Mickey Rourke
People ask me about that all the time. They say, Did you ever think of directing? And I say, It's completely out of the question.
Mickey Rourke
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.
Mickey Rourke
I had gotten injured during the boxing, and I was supposed to take several months off because I'd had a couple of concussions, and so I sort of just left the boxing and got into the acting by accident.
Mickey Rourke
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.
Mickey Rourke
I don't care what Tom Cruise says about therapy.
Mickey Rourke
[The tension] between the Christians and Muslims goes back to the Crusades, doesn't it? It's too easy to blame everything on one guy. These are unpredictable, dangerous times, and I don't think that anyone really knows quite what to do.
Mickey Rourke
Evan Rachel Wood is the best actress I've ever worked with, hands down.
Mickey Rourke
I don't mind getting punched in the nose by a guy standing in front of me. It's getting stabbed in the back that I can't handle.
Mickey Rourke
Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key.
Mickey Rourke
Being out of work for 13 to 15 years is no walk in the park.
Mickey Rourke
My dogs are more important than my family.
Mickey Rourke
I never knew my father, and I'd hate to repeat that kind of cycle with my own children, because I'd also want to be there for them no matter what.
Mickey Rourke
I started to shortcircuit because I had high aspirations for the film. I never told anybody that.
Mickey Rourke
Wrestlers are all pretty busted-up by the ends of their careers.
Mickey Rourke
By the end of the shoot [of Wrestler], my trainer was pushing me up three flights of stairs to my house and holding my arm like I was an old cripple. I had three MRIs in the first two months of working on the film. I felt like it really was over by the time we started shooting the movie.
Mickey Rourke
Boxers are very isolated - or isolated within their own camps.
Mickey Rourke
When I was like 12 or 13,Muhammad Ali gave me a pair of his trunks that were white satin with gold stripes. They were full of blood, and my mother threw them away. I think it's the first time I ever cursed at my mother.
Mickey Rourke
I get a call, and it's Howard Bingham, and he's got the champ on the line.Muhammad Ali didn't remember me from being a kid, but he was going, Yeah, you're in bed, and you want your mama with you . . . It really helped so much. He spent 15 or 20 minutes on the phone with me. That's a memory that I'll always cherish.
