On the day he had colonic irrigation: 'I feel I lost my virginity that day in so many ways.'

I think I'd rather tell the truth and say what I believe in and make people unhappy than sort of pretend to think something else to accommodate them and try to be liked. That's just the way it goes and I don't think I'm any great champion of anything, but if they're going to put me on a show, I'm going to say what I think.

I have a good instinct for what's real and what's not. I don't have to second-guess myself.

The trap for an actor is that you become too successful at what you're trying to do, and you can find yourself stuck there.

I want to thank my wife who I don't normally usually associate with Iran. I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It's good. It is work, but it's the best kind of work, and there's no one I'd rather work with!

No matter what you're doing, if you're trying to make a movie, you need to be working with people that are really good and who make you better.
