All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding.

Whenever you're the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that.

One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor. You know, that persona that he puts on when he's doing his music comes from being an actor, figuring out a persona.

I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.

To go into therapy is an adventure, not really to iron anything out.

One of the things I want to do that's outside the realm of acting and the arts - although both have their place in this - is ending childhood hunger here in America.

I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do.
