I can't sit still for 10 minutes.

Good things happen when you get your priorities straight.

Now my drug is writing or acting, being creative.

I never planned on being a plumber.

I can't sit still for 10 minutes.

Men should have rough hands and be strong.

I've got a little fight in me, but I think that's good.

If you don't have any fight in you, you might as well be dead.

Now I can't wait to write my next play.

And at the end of the day, if the movie's no good, I'll live to fight another day.

I feel I should be doing stupid stuff, but I'm not going to.

I was the bad kid in school. I was usually in trouble.

In Hollywood today, it's cool for guys to wear nail polish and earrings in their lips and tongues. I don't get it.

But with writing, all you need is a pad of paper.

I knew whatever I did, it was going to be big.

I just feel like if I do good work, then people should respect me for the work I do.

The left side of my brain is telling me I want to sleep with every woman in the world and the other side of my brain is telling me I met this great girl and if I let that go I'm going to regret it.

In the end, the work shows if you're good.

Since I was a kid, he's told me to learn from his mistakes.

I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid.

I liked being in the spotlight.

I was a scam artist in high school for a while.

To me, theater is the mecca; if you really love to act, that's where it's the most fun, by a long shot.

I just love women.

I want to create a little chaos and make people's heads turn.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have somebody in my family who's in the business.

Good, bad mediocre or whatever it is, if a director wants me in his movie, I take it as a compliment.

I've got a tough act to follow.

I'm never going to get in a fight in public again.

I was raised right. I dig who I am.

Art seduces, but does not exploit.

'Blind Date' was my lifeline. It was 90 minutes when I could forget about everything, forget about the world.

An idea is something you have; an ideology is something that has you.

I was born in Rocky Mount, NC. The town of 24,000 proved a great place to spend the first 17 years of life. But, after that, onward, outward.

I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.

I wrote a techno song about the four things I love in Germany to make myself happy, which are my grandfather, my two poodle pets, bread, and a strange but delicious Turkish dish called Doener Kebab.

Our murmuring is the devil's music.

I am a forward-looking person and live in the moment to build for the future.

Because we've never encountered a decomposing body, we can only assume they are out to get us. It is no wonder there is a cultural fascination with zombies.

Is it hard to make a living in show business? Yeah.

Man needs what's worst in him in order to achieve what's best in him.

My grandmother's first husband was a spiritualist medium. What fascinates me about that is the balance between conviction and sincerity and trickery, which is also something that novelists are very familiar with.

The truth is, I initially became a singer-songwriter while still in my teens because it was the only way to guarantee that somebody on earth would sing the songs I was writing. Since then, I've performed just about everywhere: rock clubs, concerts halls, arenas, TV.

Rome is a city I love very much. I have lived there since I was a child.

Well, I think that we have to continue to fight for what we believe.
