Mickey Rourke
A lot of the stuff I am now seeing is edgy, raw kinda material.
Mickey Rourke

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 thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
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 have so many boxing gloves around my house that I would get them confused with other gloves.
Mickey Rourke
I started to shortcircuit because I had high aspirations for the film. I never told anybody that.
Mickey Rourke
If you look closely at some scenes in Diner, my eyes look like Dracula's.
Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke
Hey, baby, nobody suffers like the poor.
Mickey Rourke
