Robert Blake: Self

Quotes 

• Robert Blake : [discussing his dating life]  I just say, look, darlin', let me give it to ya: Both of my knees are gone, I'm a busted up old wreck, my back is not good, this shoulder fell off way too many horses, both these eyes have been blown up twice, I have no manners at all, I like to eat garbage, I don't know how to belch polite, I do things that disgust even ME, I wake up in the middle of the night in a black, raging inferno, I got thoughts in my brain that would gag even a maggot, I get so uptight, you couldn't get a dime up my fanny with a sledgehammer, I've been in therapy for twenty-five years and I'm still nuts. Now do you still wanna get linguini and clams?
