I learned early on to stay away from gossip magazines and reviews. That stuff just makes you unhappy, and I know actors that read everything that's written about them and they're miserable. You can choose what to let into your life.

Of all the things you choose in life, you don't get to choose what your nightmares are. You don't pick them; they pick you.

[Devito, with the help of director Quentin Tarantino, persuaded the actor to make this one.] He couldn't convince me at first because I wasn't familiar with the book, and then he had Quentin call me, ... There were a lot of parts of the book that needed to be in the script, and when they corrected that and added them, I said yes.

So you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna do something really outrageous, I'm gonna tell the truth.

I don't read my reviews, but I have a bunch of them and I will when I'm 80.

I don't want to create controversy; I just have an opinion on things, and there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion if you are asked. Everyone wants that right, and because you are famous doesn't mean you have less of a right.
