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

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 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.

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.

Tis hard to fight with anger but the prudent man keeps it under control.

The United States is using its war on drugs as an excuse to expand its control over Latin America.

Television is fun, but it's hard, and if it gets too crazy I may just do it as a part-time thing.

A businessman who reads Business Week is lost to fame. One who reads Proust is marked for greatness.

This is perhaps the most important book on evolutionary genetics ever written

Greed often finds more pleasure in taking from others than in giving to itself.
