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

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.

We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.

I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.

We need to have a culture that says 'the less energy you can use to be comfortable, the better off you are and the better you should feel about yourself'.

Concerning culture as a process, one would say that it means learning a great many things and then forgetting them; and the forgetting is as necessary as the learning.

No doubt Western civilization has in the past been full of wars and revolutions, and the national elements in our culture, even when they were ignored, always provided an unconscious driving force of passion and aggressive self-assertion.

The things that I draw on, and the world that I feel part of, aren't particularly youth culture.

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

Towns are suffering from all these things, we should unite until we are all satisfied, man cannot be killing each other as if we were animals, as if we had no culture; that is a lack of culture.

You're a Catholic in Italy when you're born, it's unthinkable to stop being Catholic. You just take the rules a lot more seriously, because it pervades your culture.

Lives have been altered in fundamental ways, and later, after they acquire a more complete understanding of what goals are actually attainable, many are left facing a lot of pain and frustration. And yet, there's no culture of complaint.

Writing is about culture and should be about everything. That's what makes it what it is.

And there are so many people in the third world suffering so horribly right now, and we are so focused on ourselves and our culture that a lot of things are showing up in our culture that are making it impossible for us to focus on others. We're so self-focused.
