My acting career began at age three and my parents got me into it. I was in a McDonald's commercial.

It's funny; I actually made poorer decisions when I sobered up then when I was screwed up.

As an actor, you're pretty much a hired gun. You are reading other people's words off of a page and doing what they want you to do.

I met my wife by breaking two of my rules: never date a girl seriously that you meet at a nightclub and never date a fan.

People do not realize this, but my drug addiction was actually a short span of time. It was only for two years.

I'm more than an actor. I'm an icon, an industry.

It was a great experience for a kid, because it was a bunch of kids playing on pirate ships and water slides, so looking back on it, it was the fondest experience of my childhood.

The people that become the biggest jokes are people who do not change. They stay the way they were in the past. Look at Michael Jackson, he never evolved.

You have to stay updated on trends, social things and pop culture, you need to stay with the times and keep evolving.

Oh, I see people everywhere. Some are celebs, but most of my friends are just regular people. The thing is, even celebs are normal people too. Just people.

My acting career began at age three and my parents got me into it. I was in a McDonald's commercial.

As a kid, I liked the 'Halloween' movies and 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and all that kind of stuff. But as an adult, I really don't watch much horror, to be honest.

As an entertainer, a comedy guy, whatever, you're never gonna be truly 100-percent happy with anything.

I don't want to be lumped into any categories.

I had a very rough and tumultuous childhood.

I have led a pretty colorful life.

I knew how to read a contract by 10 years old, but I didn't know what it meant for somebody to come in and tell me they loved me and kiss me goodnight. That's a problem.

I would like, in the long term, to be recognized as a writer-director-actor.

I'd say that animal rights and environmental issues have always been at the forefront of my mind.

I'm a bit of a hippie.

I've been labeled all my life.

If anything needs to get fixed in society, it's people's consumption of other people's problems.

On the musical side, I always wanted to kind of carry on Pink Floyd's sound. You know, Pink Floyd always had such an original, creative and masterful sound, but there are no new albums. My thought was that there's a way to keep their sound alive.

People always want to pin yesterday's news on you, as opposed to asking you what you're going to do for the future, what you're doing today.

Self-realization is great.

Thrillers are my favorite. I like stuff that keeps you on the edge of your seat or maybe makes you jump.

We're all made to make mistakes; nobody's perfect.

When God put everybody here, I don't think that he had a master plan of a pecking order. That's not what you see in the Bible. I disagree with that notion, so in my estimation, we've all been put on this planet to share it. It is our duty and our obligation and our responsibility to make sure that we've done so in the proper fashion.

My addiction has always been beautiful women being surrounded by them.

If anything needs to get fixed in society its peoples consumption of other peoples problems.

I believe that things happen for a reason. I think there are no coincidences in life.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

Be where the acting is. I live in Houston. Dallas is 4 1/2 hours away. I let them know there's no difference.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.

In LA, too many people want to go the quickest route from A to B. Method acting offers them that.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I know that if I'd had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldn't have got anywhere. You don't take exams for acting, you take your courage.

I'm not acting, but I am acting.

I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.

I had a bonding problem when I went off and boxed for five years. I was over in Europe and Asia fighting because I wanted to do something different; I was tired of acting. But the thing is, when I was done doing that, I couldn't get a job.

Acting for me is not that quid pro quo.

If you're acting, then there's a prescribed way to behave; whereas in life there's no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.

When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.

And then, I suppose, there's also a cinematic reality on top of that. Because it was extremely difficult to keep tabs on, it was quite confusing acting that.

I read. It's also nice for me to get involved in schoolwork, which is a totally different world than acting. It makes me feel like I am doing things that normal people are doing at my age.

It's a living, breathing thing, acting.
