Mickey Rourke was the Brad Renfro of the ’80s.

I don’t go out and get arrested anymore. The most extravagant thing I do these days is play golf. I’m like an old man.

I auditioned at the Radisson in Knoxville, and I just did what I always do. I just try to believe what I’m doing.

If you’ve never tried drugs, don’t. And if you have, pray.

I choose films for their artistic value. I don’t need a mansion or a Jaguar. When I leave this Earth, I won’t take any money with me. All I will leave behind will be my art.

Everybody thinks I’m, like, a bad boy. I’ve had my day, but I just sit at home and play the blues mostly.

Is that what I’ve become, a piece of meat?
