Doug Stanhope is great - I saw his 'Burning the BRIDGE to Nowhere' SHOW and it was inspiring. He's like an anti-shaman, taking the STING out of a bunch of things we've chosen to GIVE a symbolic POWER to. I've made it sound noble and worthy there, it's not, it's really funny.

How comedic are squirrels? We don't have squirrels in Australia. The FIRST time I SAW a SQUIRREL was at a MEETING at Disney.

I have not told HALF of what I SAW.

I'm a big Bruce Lee fan, and if I SAW Bruce Lee try to be some namby-pamby LAWYER, I'd want my MONEY BACK.

I was a banker in MOROCCO when I FIRST saw 'American Graffiti.' It was before I was an ACTOR, a melancholy time in my life, and this mood was reflected in the FILM.

Real estate is the KEY COST of PHYSICAL retailers. That's why there's the old saw: LOCATION, location, location.

I used to throw STUFF out of the window and trash hotel rooms - and superglue all the drawers SHUT and superglue the toilet seat down and superglue the phone to the nightstand - and all kinds of stuff. I had a CHAIN saw for a while. I didn't REALLY use it but once or twice.

Bergman MOVIES were the most influential. They used to show at Goucher University, which was where my PARENTS used to live. 'Brink of Life' was the first one I ever saw. Three PREGNANT WOMEN in a maternity ward and their misery - I love that. That is what I want to show at my funeral.

I was 22 and had worked on Wall Street for a YEAR, and quit my job. I bought a motorcycle and sort of had this fantasy that I'd go cross-country LIKE 'Easy Rider.' I went from New YORK to L.A., and on the way back, I stopped in Chicago and saw a friend of mine who was into improv. And I figured it might be fun to give it a shot.

I saw Richard Linklater's FILM 'Slacker' for my twenty-first birthday. That was the MOMENT when it all seemed possible. This guy GAVE me HOPE.

I was in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas. I've argued for Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, the United Farm Workers. I've been a RADICAL for a LONG TIME. I guess it's too bad. I'd be more marketable as a right-wing redneck. But I got into this to TELL the truth as I saw it.

A girl invited me to come out to a Bible STUDY, and I said, 'Why not? I don't have anything to LOSE.' I went, and to my SURPRISE, I saw people that loved GOD, but they were not square or rigid. They were just people LIKE me.

I am not Padma Shri Manoj Bajpayee. I am Manoj Bajpayee, an outsider who SAW dreams and stayed on the fringes of MUMBAI and worked DAY and NIGHT to get WORK.
