When they say I'm a great actor, I close my ears because it's not good for you to think that way.

I think human beings have a basic instinct to be free and explore their world in their own way. I've always been driven to look at life as something which we should try to plunge into rather than sit back. You have to be able to have fun and keep creating a sense of excitement to how you approach the world.

I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.

I learned a long time ago in Hollywood that the only person I should vote for is myself.

Being pigeonholed is the death of all actors.

I don't believe in God now. I can still work up an envy for someone who has a faith. I can see how that could be a deeply soothing experience.

Because you know, down deep in my heart, when all is said and done, I still live under the illusion that basically people think of me as an up-and-coming young actor.
