I suppose playing an older man is a way of preparing myself for getting older.

My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.

When I was young I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything I used to think 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out.

You can make history, or you will be vilified by it.

Everywhere I go, somebody is staring at me. I don't know if people are staring because they recognize me or because they think I'm a weirdo.

Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever.

It is not necessary to move mountains in order to prove one's faith.

In childhood, we yearn to be grown-ups. In old age, we yearn to be kids. It just seems that all would be wonderful if we didn't have to celebrate our birthdays in chronological order.

It's time for somebody to lead all of America's niggers . . all the people who feel left out of the political process.
