“I've been a prisoner and lived in prison for a while; I've been a missionary in China; I've been a vampire and a priest in Poland in World War II. I guess without bragging or being too prideful about it I'm excited when I look back at these things that I've done. I've had lots of wonderful opportunities.”
Willem Dafoe
“Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins.”
Carlos Santana
“In prison, those things withheld from and denied to the prisoner become precisely what he wants most of all.”
Eldridge Cleaver
“When a prisoner sees the door of his dungeon open he dashes for it without stopping to think where he shall get his dinner.”
George Bernard Shaw
“I have been studying how I may compareThe prison where I live unto the world.”
William Shakespeare
“I learned from my experiences that most of the prisoners went to prison when they were young, drunk and involved in drugs. The sad thing is that when they are given the time to grow up and clean up, they are people just like us.”
Stephen Hartnett
“The story is about an Irishman, fresh from prison, who wants to get out of the neighborhood and live somewhere nice, tropical, maybe find a nice girl. But the code of silence and loyalty to his friends forces him to stay. You can't easily walk away from that life, not without causing a lot of suspicion amongst the people you do business with. Ultimately the story is about dreams, and how sometimes they are left behind for the ones we love.”
