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.

I've got a tough act to follow.

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