• Hair is very, very distinctive. I started that with that boxing movie I did, The Great White Hype. The director wanted me to look like Don King, and everybody knew who Don King was. But I didn't want to be Don King. I wanted the man to be Rev. Fred Sultan, so I decided to make him look like Julius Caesar. And from that point on, I just decided, I had this great wig-maker, so I just found hairstyles that I felt would be distinctive for every character. Like an adventure.

• And since the mind is of a man one part,
  Which in one fixed place remains, like ears,
  And eyes, and every sense which pilots life;
  And just as hand, or eye, or nose, apart,
  Severed from us, can neither feel nor be,
  But in the least of time is left to rot,
  Thus mind alone can never be, without
  The body and the man himself, which seems,
  As 'twere the vessel of the same- or aught
  Whate'er thou'lt feign as yet more closely joined:
  Since body cleaves to mind by surest bonds.

  Lucretius
