You don't quite know how drunk you are until all of a sudden you're on the floor.

My best attribute is knowing when not to answer stupid questions.

People seem to get weirdly obsessed with my mouth.

I learned a lot about critics, not to really take them too seriously about movies.

A lot of my friends are struggling musicians. Being a struggling actor, it's just frustrating because you're not allowed to do what you want to do.

I love giving gifts and I love receiving them. I really like giving little kids extravagant gifts. You see their little faces light up and they get excited. If it's a really good gift, I love receiving it, like jewels, small islands.

I always find people who are unique very attractive.

Size counts. That's all.

My favorite part of a roller-coaster ride is when you're going up and you're slightly scared and really excited. You don't know what's coming next but you know it's going to be good. You can't handle it, go on the carousel.

Feeding is a very important ritual for me. I don't trust people who don't like to eat.

I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.

I would love to do a big studio movie, just because they're going to put the money into distributing it. A lot of times you do these little movies, you love them and they never get seen by anyone.

I don't have any blonde friends.

In any profession, there's a sleazy side and an honorable side.

I love cats. I have a lot of cat tales, ha ha, so to speak. A lot of my cats come to me. They show up at my house. I'm kind of a cat lady that way.

I feel like I still am struggling in a lot of different ways. I still have to fight for certain things. Certain jobs. At least I'm working and I'm thankful for that.

I've seen it too many times in Hollywood. Talking about a relationship in public can jinx it. And if you have your picture taken together, you might as well start packing your bags.

Lately, I've been a little sad that I'm not a gay man.

Struggling at anything that you want to be doing is hard.

I think the original Matrix was really incredible. It was so original and it did so many innovative things with film. It was a much bigger film. Bound was just a smaller film. It was kind of like an old noir film.

I usually just have one cat. It is difficult, but I have my one cat that he'll travel with me if it's appropriate, if I'm not going overseas.

You don't quite know how drunk you are until all of a sudden you're on the floor.

I think people stop themselves from doing the things they want to do. I just think you never know how long you're going to be around so you might as well do the things that are intriguing. Nobody really cares anyway so you have to do what makes you happy.

Actresses are nightmares. I don't hang out with any of them. That's a problem with my profession. I try not to be like an actress.

I think smart is sexy. I like smart people. People that are comfortable with themselves I think is very sexy. My cat is really sexy.

When Bound was released, Boys don't Cry wasn't out yet. Therefore it was very taboo to play a lesbian. I loved the part, because girls never get to play the typical guy parts.

I did the cover of Cigar Aficionado, so I'm supposed to talk about loving cigars. I've smoked them a couple of times. My father used to smoke cigars. I love the idea and the concept, and I love the smell of cigars.

The critics tend to forget their own answers after a while.

I'm involved in Project ALS which is trying to get money for stem cell research. That's one I've been pretty involved with because if you can cure that, you can cure so many other diseases.

You dont quite know how drunk you are until all of a sudden youre on the floor.

I was what they call a pool hustler. That's absolutely true. For long periods of time I got by, barely skimmed by, just playing pool.

Maybe they'll start making serialized movies. I watched the first couple seasons of '24' and it's really fun. I bought the DVD and watched it over a month or so and it's great. It's like reading a novel. It has a lot of possibilities that are more difficult to accomplish with a film.

I'm going down in history with Star Trek. It's a great feeling.

I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.

Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.

I don't have a computer. A computer's a typewriter. I already have a typewriter.

At some point, you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life.

Two things prevent us from happiness living in the past and observing others.

For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.

My whole family is lactose intolerant and when we take pictures we cant say cheese.

I'm working toward a CD that will have all of you dancing like crazy.

We can grow crops less expensively because molecular manufacturing technology is inherently low cost.

I would love to be a father. I had a great father who taught me how gratifying that is. I'm not going to deny myself that. I think I'd be good at it. Everybody wants that experience. I definitely do.

I am the skeptic of skeptics.

This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice.

I have no problem saying that I have differences in policy with the United States.

A brainy person does not abuse copyright; instead they respect it and uphold it.

When I'm playing my best, like I was at the U.S. Open, I feel on top of the match and able to do exactly what I want. There are other times when you're not in control, but that is tennis and you have momentum changes in every single match.

I have worked with another first-time director who was not that open, and it was probably one of the worst experiences I ever had, so my antennas are really out.
