There are some films that really break the mold, and some films that don't. I've been looking for films that break the mold a bit.

I'm very 'spur of the moment'. I'm always trying to think of fun things to do to create a memory.

I don't like to act in my personal life. I like to be straightforward.

I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!

You don't stay the hottest guy forever unless you're, um, Dionysus.

Be honest with yourself and lie to everyone else.

My friends and I make short films. We pretended to rob the Dairy Queen where our friend worked, but someone thought we were real thieves and called the cops! Soon, the cops burst in with guns drawn!

I admire when people take the harder path, not because they are masochistic and want to beat themselves up, but because you actually kind of learn more and I think you grow more.

It's not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the terror bombards you.

When I turned 18, I skipped my party to take my girlfriend on a road trip. It turned out to be an amazing birthday.

Ever since Poltergeist terrified me when I was 12, I can't watch horror films, I'm a real wuss.

The problem isn't that people don't understand how good things are. It's that they know, from personal experience, that things really aren't that good.

I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.

California is, in many respects, best understood as a nation-state. In the environmental-energy realm, California possesses far-reaching legal authorities that other states do not.

We need a great president who can lead us through the great challenges we face.

The spinning wheel is a symbol of nonviolence for me.

Some people are so weak that whenever they see a hammer, they immediately turn into a nail!

Man is the only one that knows nothing, that can learn nothing without being taught. He can neither speak nor walk nor eat, and in short he can do nothing at the prompting of nature only, but weep.

For me, the idea of being a successful actor is hanging out with my dogs and my boy, down in Venice beach, and going, "I don't have to audition today. I've got a little respite here."

For if a thing is not diminished by being shared with others, it is not rightly owned if it is only owned and not shared.

A high hope for a low heaven: God grant us patience!
