More quotes by 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
I have a really good relationship with a lot of designers. I like Gaultier, Billionaire and Cavalli.
Mickey Rourke
Acting was never my first choice as a profession, but I came to terms with it when I decided I better buckle down and be the best I can be at it.
Mickey Rourke
Being out of work for 13 to 15 years is no walk in the park.
Mickey Rourke
I started to shortcircuit because I had high aspirations for the film. I never told anybody that.
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
Wrestling and boxing is like Ping-Pong and rugby. There's no connection.
Mickey Rourke
It's the formulaic studio movies the make money, and when they do, the actors in them are automatically movie stars.

Julian Schnabel painted a picture that he dedicated to my character in Rumble Fish. It was called The Motorcycle Boy. I remember when he brought it over to me at the Mayflower Hotel [in New York] years ago. This is when you and I knew each other.
