Let them hate me, provided they respect my conduct.

I've been involved with violent movies, and then I've also said at a certain point, 'I can't take it anymore. Please cut it.' You know, you've got to respect the filmmaker, and it's a really tough issue.

I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it's like, she didn't care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.

Renown? I've already got more of it than those I respect, and will never have as much as those for whom I feel contempt.

There is no excuse for perjury - never, never, never. There is truth, and the truth demands respect.
