Acting is playing - it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.

I think my stuff's kind of obsolete now, you know? I'm making Model Ts or something, and everybody else is making spaceships.

Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.

They were on the set of Bad Santa, but I tried to keep the headphones away from them. My kids have seen Sling Blade, Armageddon, Bandits and Friday Night Lights. They have not seen Monster's Ball and nor will they ever. Even when they are 60. I will leave it in my will.

Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.

I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.

I love acting with all my heart and I love music with all my heart.
