Notes on Michael Madsen

"I don't know if I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll always have a chaotic personal life as long as I'm an actor, but it seems like I can't get away from that, because I've tried. I'm not frivolous and it's not like 'This ain't working out, so screw you baby.' I've tried to hang in there and do the right thing, but sometimes you don't get much cooperation. When you do this kind of work, a lot of people throw themselves at you and that's why I'm glad it took a while for whatever success I'm having to come to me. If all this had happened when I was 22 I probably would have gotten into some bad trouble." - Michael Madsen quoted in The Los Angeles Times Feb. 6, 1994
