There are certain nights you and your image just aren't in the same bed.

There are certain nights you and your image just aren't in the same bed.

There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.

No computer, no gadget, no trickery. I am an animal, it is a plant. I will beat the weed!

I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.

She's a cool ghost. Maybe me being nude all the time is why we get along.

Life is a series of commas, not periods.

Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.

A creep is someone who claims he's one thing but he's actually another.

Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

Any artist, the work you do, if it's a painting or if it's a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else's life. That's what's fun about sharing art.

Cameras aren't guns. They can't really hurt you.

Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn't want anybody's name on my backside. I personally don't like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone's likeness all over it.

For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine's Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T - that's a bad word that doesn't go with L-O-V-E.

Good ideas are free - or at least they should be.

I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen.

I don't dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don't know, people's perceptions of me. I truly don't.

I don't dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it's gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin' White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It's connected to where you are today.

I don't want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.

I have my own vocabulary. I love linguistics. That surprises people.

I have some good friends of my own who happen to be gay, and when it comes to gay, straight, or whatever, I'm for anything life-affirmative. I'm for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who's different.

I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone's inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.

I like a good pair of jeans, but I also like putting on a nice tux. I'd rather go around in a good pair of jeans that you don't wash every day, because they get more and more comfortable.

I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.

I like quips. I like whiffs of cynicism and I think they can be witty. But I don't really know where wittiness is constructive.

I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods - that's where I'm really happy.

I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day's schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.

I love good film, whether it's an independent or studio film. The independent films, I think the good ones aren't necessarily eccentric ones but they're the more specific ones.

I say to the paparazzi, 'Fellas, take your shot and go.' It's just they usually find me on a beach.

I talk to myself all the time. Just make sure you answer.

I think most defense attorneys know, to some extent, their clients are guilty.

I think the discipline comes with turning that cellphone and Blackberry off and unplugging completely. You do that and you go through some withdrawals in the beginning. You start thinking, 'Oh, do I need to do this? Do I need to do that?' You forget that we were doing just fine with the payphone.

I was raised on, 'You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.'

I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you're expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you're not asking for it.

I'm a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

I'm a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They're great for you limber-wise, they're great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.

I'm not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It's really not my place.

I'm one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it's OK for me to return home.

I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.

I've done films where we don't rehearse, and I've done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals.

I've got a great sense of humor, and if I'm able to say or do something in a movie that people feel like they want to repeat, that's hugely flattering.

I've never been a jealous person, and I've never felt built up by someone else's failure - that's a cheap thrill.

I've never been a manipulator, even in my bachelor days. I never wanted to do things to people that could catch up with me later on.

I've read a lot of really great characters in some really crappy stories, where I said, like, 'Boy I could shine here, but the story sucks.' I don't want to be part of that.

If you can be mentally stimulated by the workout and find out how to get through it, it's more fun.

If you want your hair to be thicker, cut it when the moon is about to be full - a heavy, full, waxing moon. Do not cut it when the moon's waning.

In whatever adulation you get, there's truth and there's not truth. And wherever they dog you, and they say it was horrible - there's truth and there's not truth. It's human nature to like to read the adulation more.

It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.'

Kids will remind you that, even though you've gone down a road 100 times, it's brand new for them - and that's healthy.
