When asked what he thought of
Goodfellas (1990) when it first came out in 1990,
he said: "I thought it was boring, excessively violent and not a good
movie. I thought I was boring, I thought that I had hurt my career, I
thought that this movie should not have been made and it's not a good
movie". He then said three hours later after thinking more about it,
"Do you know, I'm kind of coming through a clearing here and I'm
thinking that's not a boring movie, that's a good movie, that's a great
movie maybe, and I'm really good in it!"
