I have tons of regrets, but I think that's one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers.
I believe an artist dies twice. The first time, it's just terrible - I've been there when the phone isn't ringing for years.
A lot of actors, and artists in general, never feel secure in love. They always feel everything's going to be taken away from them, professionally and personally; they're extremely emotional and volatile.
I've always said that the artist dies twice. And the first death is the hardest which is the career death, the creative death. The physical death is an inevitability.
Artists die twice. First creatively. Then physically. The second one is the easiest.
The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can't change. After I die, I'll probably come back as a paintbrush.
