“A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down....” — Mickey Rourke Quote

“A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.”

“I still work out most days. When I do it, I go full blast five or six days a week, two to three hours a day. I enjoy it. It's therapeutic for me.”

“In boxing, you don't know what's going to happen. In wrestling, it's already prearranged.”

“There is a strange sort of reasoning in Hollywood that musicals are less worthy of Academy consideration than dramas. It's a form of snobbism, the same sort that perpetuates the idea that drama is more deserving of Awards than comedy.”

“I attended first a military academy, then a public school in Beverly Hills, where we lived, and many of my classmates were the children of movie stars and studio executives.”

“I've been nominated for Academy Awards, I know what I'm doing.”
