I could almost say it is my religion. I guess that sounds pretentious, but I want to live and breathe cinema.

My mother told me I was begging her to be an actor when I was four. My father and my grandfather saw at least one or two movies a week; they were film buffs, so I guess it just rubbed off on me.

I'm old fashioned with my cell phone. I like that human contact and I think it's important.

I love talking about Scientology.

Without Scientology, I would be in an alley somewhere looking for dope.

I want to be a part of something that's good and intellectually challenging.

I've been allowed to grow over the past twenty years. I've managed to avoid being trapped in one moment of my career and for that, I'm very thankful

We went to - I guess it was a legitimate boiler room, and I sat in front of this guy who literally was on the phone with two people at once. They call it double fisting.

If you do improvising, it can sometimes end up being a waste of time. And if you do that, it's more or less based on a writing process.

We can see the beauty of life, with positive focus.

This is God's world, so everything, even if it intends to efface God, bears witness to God – understood and interpreted through biblical eyeglasses.

People think they are here on earth to spend life

For the youth, the indignation of most things will just surge as each birthday passes.

The sea, the stars, the night wind in waste places, mean more to me than even the human beings I love best.

I think lowering the age of consent to thirteen in New Jersey was a great idea. It might give boys a better chance to get girls before maga­zines. That's when they get hooked, in junior high.

When I look at pictures when I was younger, I do the quintessential cringe.

Emotions. Swelling waves that we are so often powerless to navigate. Is there some meaning to them? Of course, you just have to learn how to properly manage them.

The agony of love destroyed often leaves us swearing never to love again.
