Mickey Rourke People Quotations

Very few men can fall as far as I have and come back. People see me and it's like they've seen a ghost, like I'm back from the dead.

I was very ashamed of seeing a therapist because I thought only crazy people went, and then, after about nine years, I asked him, 'Well, was I really crazy?' And he nodded and said, 'You were but not any more.'

I behaved worse than anybody for 15 years, and you have to pay the price for that. I used to blame other people, then therapy made me realise I had to change.

People are always afraid of the truth.

People ask me about that all the time. They say, "Did you ever think of directing?" And I say, "It's completely out of the question."

You want to earn respect in your old age. You want to walk into a restaurant and have people say: 'There's Mickey Rourke. He was great in 'The Wrestler.' You don't want them jumping out of windows.
