You think that if you are the best actor, you deserve the most or if you are the biggest star, you deserve the most. That race just isn't important to me.

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.

I think it would be fun to write about movies again.

I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.

The issue of "who we are" has been an ongoing one. It's part of the ongoing identity crisis of America.

I think all cats are wild. They only act tame if there´s a saucer of milk in it for them.

Never think of the surface except as an extension of a volume.

True freedom is tolerant. It gives people the right to live and think in new ways.

As for the healing, that comes from the writing, from living and writing. That's my catharsis. That's why I never regret sharing because it's part of my healing!

I spent my 20s working in patient care at a large university hospital, an experience that has informed all my work and has given me a lot of human observation to draw on.

I have two college degrees, four honorary doctorate degrees, and am in three Halls of fame, and the only thing I know how to do is teach tall people how to put a ball in the hole.

Fate has me highly skilled and loaded with talent.
