Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs.

My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.

When I was young I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything I used to think 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out.

You can make history, or you will be vilified by it.

Everywhere I go, somebody is staring at me. I don't know if people are staring because they recognize me or because they think I'm a weirdo.

Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

I'm just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it's taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is fun.

To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

If you do not have the courage to be yourself, what will you be?

Life is science.

I believe that am entire nation should not be judged by the wrongdoings of a few extremists.

I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.

We don't believe we are too sexy for our hair.

I don't go back and look at the monitor between every take; I wait until I feel like we finally got it right: "Let me stop and look at that last one on the monitor."

Be passionate about your life and the experiences you fill it with.

Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.

In a climate of uncertainty and fear, without strong and visionary leadership, people panic.

Communications are better now than in my Vietnam days.
