I felt like I had two fathers. I had my real father and the father in my head.

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

Of all the ways to lose a person, death is the kindest.

Love doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be true.

Never wait for your muse. Train him/her to show up to work when you do by pushing on. It's a dominant submission thing.

One who is thankful for a slice of bread is more blessedthan one who is ungrateful for a loaf.

A man cannot free himself from the past more easily than he can from his own body.

I was going to sip on a diet soda, but a little voice convinced me I needed the extra calcium from a cup of hot chocolate.

Not the brightest gem in the jewelry shop, but you've got to admire his single-minded dedication to drug abuse.

Who taught you to hate yourself?

Many of those engaged in a lemming-like march to the sea are proud of their individualism.
