When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss.

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.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

I'm just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it's taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is fun.

To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

That's the value of the artist... Even when they aren't aware, they're dreaming our dreams for us.

You know you’re in love the moment you can touch the stars without reaching. -Morgan

Boredom is the conviction that you can't change ... the shriek of unused capacities.

Sadly, too much has changed about publishing ... not only does attractiveness matter to agents and editors, but there's no room anymore for a reclusive writer.

No man living in a world as interesting as this ever writes a book if he can help it.

Have you met my boyfriend?” There. That was a doozy. His eyes narrowed, and his lips thinned into a tight line. Yep, Noah was a mood kill for both of us.

I've got friends who didn't vote. I want to smack them upside the head.

I don't want no lies, I don't watch TV. I don't waste my time, won't read a magazine.

Influenza pandemics must be taken seriously precisely because of their capacity to spread rapidly to every country in the world.

My parents moved to Florida when I was 12, and my backyard was the Gulf of Mexico.
