You've seen how actors make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They're never really there. They're in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.

I don't really want to be doing high budget, where they've got cranes and everything. That just sounds boring, having to do the same thing over and over again.

Maybe that's the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot.

I spent four days and four nights just covered in blood, falling in the water.

To have an opportunity to make a movie like Cabin Fever, you have to get stuff thrown on you or you have to fall into a pit of water. It brings you that much closer to your mindset as a character.

Cabin Fever was murder. There was a lot of psychological stress, like not knowing if we were going to finish the movie. The day we arrived to start rehearsals, our main investors pulled out.

I don't know if child actors are necessarily more screwed up than most people.

Maybe that's my lot in life as an actor, to be the guy who gets crapped on everywhere he goes. Oh God...

I hope to always be doing some low budget things.

I'd much rather do one or two takes of one thing and then see how it goes.

The three most important words in a relationship are not, 'I love you, ' but, 'Tell me more.

When the last tree is cut and the last fish killed, the last river poisoned, then you will see that you can't eat money.

The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.

As innocent as a new-laid egg.

You know, you can always pick the lit students," he continued, grinning. "Is that so? How?" "They're the ones who walk around wearing berets and that I-know-something-you-don't expression.

From an angel's wings to a fallen star, God makes everything but unbreakable hearts.

It is our fall from a simplicity and fullness of life directly experienced, from the sensuous moment of knowing, which leaves a gap that the symbolic can never bridge.

I agree with Sophocles: the greatest luck is not to have been born - but, as the joke goes on, very few people succeed in it.

I confess I take perverse delight as a theologian in the controversies surrounding postmodernism.

There can be no true discipline without love...only compliance.
