Some of your worst gangsters are guys who were very low-key.

I'm very, very low-key in general.

I was very immature when I was young, and for me there was no balance. Everything was just all or nothing.

I always knew I'd accomplish something very special - like robbing a bank perhaps.

When I first met Alan Parker, who directed 'Angel Heart,' he'd heard so many horror stories about me that he was literally scared to death of me. Right away, he sat me down and said, 'I'm very scared of you. I've heard you're a very bad boy.'

I didn't have a childhood, really, because I worked my whole life and... other reasons. So when I had some success, I went ballistic. That was my childhood, and the party kept going on.
