Cabin Fever was murder. There was a lot of psychological stress, like not knowing if we were going to finish the movie. The day we arrived to start rehearsals, our main investors pulled out.

I don't really want to be doing high budget, where they've got cranes and everything. That just sounds boring, having to do the same thing over and over again.

Maybe that's the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot.

You've seen how actors make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They're never really there. They're in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.

I spent four days and four nights just covered in blood, falling in the water.

To have an opportunity to make a movie like Cabin Fever, you have to get stuff thrown on you or you have to fall into a pit of water. It brings you that much closer to your mindset as a character.

I don't know if child actors are necessarily more screwed up than most people.

Maybe that's my lot in life as an actor, to be the guy who gets crapped on everywhere he goes. Oh God...

I hope to always be doing some low budget things.

I'd much rather do one or two takes of one thing and then see how it goes.

There's a real separation between actors and all the other functions of Hollywood. If you're an actor you're somehow not a member of the crew. You're somehow more special. I hate that.

A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.

Knowledge rooted in experience shapes what we value and as a consequence how we know what we know as well as how we use what we know.

You know what? I don’t care about everyone. I never even cared about me. I cared about you.

My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger.

Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses.

The CIA's research program is described in a book called "The Search for the Manchurian Candidate."

People teach their dogs to sit; it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky.

The policies being promoted are insane... If you believe energy poverty is a good thing, you should support controls on carbon emissions. But most of the world disagrees with that.

This is the operative statement. The others are inoperative.

There has been one defining production for me in each decade.
