More quotes by Mickey Rourke
Since I knew wrestling was all choreographed, I thought, Oh, they don't get hurt at all. But I walked away with a renewed respect for the sport. Because I was very ignorant before - I knew nothing about it.
Mickey Rourke
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.

[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.

If you look closely at some scenes in Diner, my eyes look like Dracula's.
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.

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.
Mickey Rourke
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 have so many boxing gloves around my house that I would get them confused with other gloves.
Mickey Rourke

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
