Which one would that be? My fave is " I AM in a world of shit", but that's not his. But very fitting today, for several reasons it seems.
Great role in a great movie anyway. R.I.P.

Man he was amazing in Full Metal Jacket. He also did an episode of Law and Order: SVU. He played a real creepy sicko bastard very convincingly. Huge loss. RIP
