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
Hey, baby, nobody suffers like the poor.
Mickey Rourke
Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key.
