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

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!

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.

I spent my entire first pay cheque from Cracker, a TV show on ABC, on an Audi because my other car broke down and I needed to get to work.

Change--savor the cool, fresh flavor of it.

England was a cold, backward, rebellious little kingdom. It's king: Henry the Eighth, remembered principally for his six wives and the chicken legs clutched in his fat fists.

For the ones who dream of stranger worlds.

Patience is that the heart does not feel anger towards that which is destined and that the mouth does not complain.

A mother is neither cocky, nor proud, because she knows the school principal may call at any minute to report that her child had just driven a motorcycle through the gymnasium.

I’m not Hans Christian Andersen. Nobody’s gonna make a statue in the park with a lot of scrambling kids climbing up me. I won’t have it, okay?

I'm wary of a certain human nature. More than anything, I fear treason.

For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy.

I can't think of a more mediocre human talent than George Bush. He obviously is a product of family advantage, and he's the worst American President of all time.

But between sets I'd sneak over to the black places to hear blues musicians. It got to the point where I was making my living at white clubs and having my fun at the other places.
