There was a time when I felt I should do everything that was offered to me, you know, ride the wave.

Work is my hobby, staying sober is my job.

I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.

I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.

After I did Untamed Heart I wanted to do a film that was outrageous. I really wanted to do, you know, a performance. I don't want to allow my image to rule the choices that I make.

If you can help guide somebody through a challenging moment because you've been there, that ends up becoming a great gift.

I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about.

My mom put me in a Pampers commercial on TV.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

Smiles are a funny thingand laughter is hilarious.I smile sometimeswhen I am delirious.

Don't give your power away to anybody. If you find something to do that you truly love, you'll be successful.

The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land.

The miracle of Christmas is not on 34th street; it's in Bethlehem.

Anything more low, obscene, feculent, the manifold heaving's of history have not cast up. We shall come to the worship of onions, cats and things vermiculite.

I love trying to beat what I've done so far.

Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear, and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom.
