“I made a picture called Super Mario Bros., and my six-year-old son at the time — he’s now 18 — he said, 'Dad, I think you’re probably a pretty good actor, but why did you play that terrible guy King Koopa in Super Mario Bros.?' and I said, 'Well Henry, I did that so you could have shoes,' and he said, 'Dad, I don’t need shoes that badly.'”
—Dennis Hopper, on Late Night with Conan O’Brien (2008)
