“If I rob a gas station, I'm going to get 15 years. If I steal $400 mil...” — Powers Boothe Quote

If I rob a gas station, I'm going to get 15 years. If I steal $400 million on Wall Street, I start plea-bargaining.

We have real cliched ideas of what prison life is like. It is not a happy place. It's a desperate, sad situation.

I was the first one in the family, on either side, to go to college - much less graduate school.

I wanted to be in 'The Emerald Forest.' I chased that one for six months before it all came about. I wanted to work with John Boorman!

Before I accept a job, I always talk to folks about it. 'Why does he kill these 22 people?' If they say, 'What difference does it make?' I know we have nothing more to talk about. A character has to be three-dimensional.

I have a lot of natural gas on my properties.

If you don't have the story and the unfolding of the trajectory of the saga, it's like getting in a car and not having any gas.

When 'Gas Food Lodging' was released, I had already shot 'Mi Vida Loca.'

Whether I'm at the gas station or I be at the store, I be there by myself. I be regular.

I tell people all the time: All I need is gas money.
