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

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.

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.

Because of what I did when I was 10 years old, I'm not living from paycheck to paycheck, and I can do things because I want to do them.

There is a poem at the heart of things and a mythic story in the heart of each of us.

It does people good to have to do things they don't like in moderation.

If all else fails, we will simply have to drug our attendants, overpower the guards, raise the oppressed peasants to arms, and take over the government.

All one really requires for putting anything over is enough energy and resistance to keep on plugging the idea. Someone will eventually fall.

What's good and bad, sweet spirit, are in the eye of the beholder.

Goals determine what you're going to be.

I am always going to be a theater actor at heart. One of my career goals is to do "Shakespeare in the Park" someday but for now I am really excited to get working on another movie.

If you're being true to who you are, and the things you believe in, that is so attractive to me.

Syria is ready to cooperate and coordinate all efforts, whether regional or international, to combat terrorism

Should the poor be flattered? No; let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp, and crook the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.
