A lot of people use social media to share mundane things or for self-glorification. I try to use it to share interesting things with people.

I certainly don't think I'm deserving of taking up space forever as a human. There's a whole generation of people yet to be born that are going to be so much more evolved than I am. I don't want to take up space. They're going to be better equipped to make the world a better place than I am.

I'll probably never be the best actor in Hollywood, but I hope to be the hardest working.

I feel like a fraud... My name is not even actually Ashton. Ashton is my middle name.

I've already exceeded my expectations for myself. I'm one of the most influential people! I mean come on! I wanted to be... I never thought the things I've experienced in my life, I didn't think that was the life that I was gonna get to live.

I think that when we start thought-policing people and idea-policing people, then that's crossing a line. And I think, you know, everybody's so afraid of this imaginary line of thought police that they forget their own personal safety.

The thing that enchants me the most is the ability women have to feel other people's pain. The total empathy that women have is extraordinary.
