I don't really know [who my favorite vampire is]. I always think, 'Ethan Hawke in Interview with a Vampire,' and someone will say, 'He's not the vampire. He's the interviewer.'

I was only given this life because I'm strong enough to live it.

I'm afraid of buying a house or anything, 'cause if there's one paparazzi outside for one day, then they'll never leave.

Music means freedom to me. But in acting you can pretend to be someone else and I like that.

I did this movie about Salvador Dali a few years ago and had hair extensions and a little bob. That was incredibly bizarre.

People who are the most normal are probably the most crazy.

I prefer to be someone who has to confront his many fears instead of someone who has the illusion he doesn't fear anything

I'm always shocked by the people who I'm attracted to. It's always completely random. I generally like people who are a bit crazy but yeah, that's pretty much my only prerequisite.

The link between my brain and my mouth is just not there anymore.

Sometimes I think, 'To hell with acting' and then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop. Acting is much cooler.

I've never met anyone who's left a comment on anything. It's just demons who live in basements.

Never allow your short term temperament to affect your long term decisions.

Do not be unkind to other people just because you are passing through difficult times.They are not responsible for your misery.

The gospel alone liberates you to live a life of scandalous generosity, unrestrained sacrifice, uncommon valor, and unbounded courage.

The music is the main thing and it's just as easy to write acceptable words.

The better organized you are in the simple things, the more spontaneous and free you can be in the ore important things.

No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

They say I need to learn, but nobody's here to teach me. If they don't understand, how can they reach me?

I'm concerned that young people, far too often, abdicate their responsibilities of learning and adapting and give that over to people who may not always have their best interests at heart.

A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective.

I'm still learning. Hopefully I can keep getting better, and not stop where I am now.
