I've always loved writing.

I bounce off four walls, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because I only sleep those four hours a day.

In Tarzan I only had to worry about the bees.

As for action movies, I did Tarzan, and I'm also about to shoot Meltdown, which John Carpenter wrote.

The one in the movie is not real, but my Casper tattoo is real, and it is my only one.

I already played James Dean in a film called Race with Destiny, but it hasn't come out yet.

I do most of my own stunts because the stunt guys show me how.

I'd like to continue to act and also produce.

I like movies that challenge people to recognize different things.

I don't drink. I don't do drugs.

I also watched a lot of football and sports. I haven't had much time to watch too much TV lately.

I like the way that different people recognise me for the roles I done.

I eat five to seven meals a day and a couple of protein shakes.

Growing up, my favorite TV show was Star Trek.

I've always loved writing.

I sail, scuba dive, play football, basketball.

I eat really healthy, and if I'm tired, I take a nap.

I play a huge variety of roles.

And I ride horses, swim, do a lot of reading, writing.

No, I consider myself computer illiterate.

Tim Burton... as an actor you wait and wish and hope and pray you'll work with him.

I, more or less, love camping out, so I dug it, but I didn't enjoy other people's pain.

It would be Spiderman. I'd love to be Peter Parker.

We make a lot of mistakes for women, and we'll always do it again.

Being a working actor, you're going to do a Spelling show. It's hard not to.

I get beat up on every project.

Oh, I wouldn't want to go on a date with a female celebrity. I'd rather go on a date with a real woman.

I do really crazy things all the time, but I can't think of anything offhand.

Green is my favorite. And it's my favorite because it's the color of my wife's eyes, grass, trees, life, and money, and mother earth!

Even when I'm writing plays I enjoy having company and mentally I think of that company as the company I'm writing for.

My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.

I don't know if there is any one secret to successful writing, but one important step is to move beyond imitation and discover what you can write that no one else can - that is, find out who you are and write that in an appropriate narrative and style.

That music and the lyrical aspects of Razorblade Romance is so personal to me that, now with me being grown up a bit and meeting new people and doing new things, it makes me look at the same things I was writing about back in the day through a different colored lens.

As a member of this court I am not justified in writing my private notions of policy into the Constitution, no matter how deeply I may cherish them or how mischievous I may deem their disregard.

I did know that the book would end with a mind-boggling trial, but I didn't know exactly how it would turn out. I like a little suspense when I am writing, too.

For me, writing is a concentrated form of thinking.

Writing allows me the time to travel and see the world, which is what I always wanted to do. I'd really like to have been Sir Richard Francis Burton, but it's the wrong century.

I've written many extra verses to songs that I learned to sing - an extra verse about a friend, or just add some verse - and that led to writing my own songs.

Book writing is a little different because, in my case, my editor is a year younger than me and basically has the same sensibility as me.

Writing is a dog's life, but the only life worth living.

I never see a novel as a film while I'm writing it. Mostly because novels and films are so different, and I'm such an internal novelist.

I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.

Writing novels is the most exciting.

That has to remain the principal reason for doing it, doesn't it? I know it's possible to write for money, and many very good writers have done so. But for me, it has to remain the principal thing that I actually want to do the writing.

Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.

Writing, overall, has never been what I'd call fun. It's fulfilling. It doesn't come real easy for me.

Every kind of book I've written has been written in a different way. There has not been any set time for writing, any set way, I haven't re-invented the process every time but I almost have.
