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

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.

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.

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.

We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it's just a mind set, that it's just an addiction, then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success.

Marijuana is a much bigger part of the American addiction problem than most people - teens or adults - realize.
