I did a radio interview for a station in Connecticut or something, and it was the worst interview ever. It was all yes and no answers.

I write a good amount. I've been gathering up a backlog of stuff and maybe I'll do something with it someday, but I don't want to talk about it just yet because that would jinx it.

Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.

I hope I'm remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won't happen.

I don't even get an allowance.

I've led a very isolated existence since I was 6 years old. It's kind of been me and my mind.

I can go to any restaurant without a reservation, but while I'm there, everyone's gonna be staring.

I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.

I lead a simple life. I feed the fish. I walk the dogs. I cook dinner. Occasionally I take a meeting.

The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

That's the thing about life. A lot of the time, it isn't easy at all. We just have to try to make the best of it.

May God direct your paths.

Practice kindness - particularly when you feel irritated or things are not going well. Kindness hardly ever goes wrong.

The greatness of the enterprise does not always ensure success, but at least ensures glory.

Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery.

Like the lion tears the flesh off a man, so can a woman who passes herself off as a male.

I always like to have flowers on the table. I think they make it look special.

Maybe there's a trapdoor under my chair, and I'll just disappear.

There's a kind of acting that goes on in my head when I'm writing a character where I put myself in their place.

Real freedom is not merely doing what you like, but also NOT doing what you like.
