As a writer, I haven't delved into dramatic writing. As an actor, I could always, even more so than comedy, do drama. When you do your comedy and your drama, your acting style doesn't change. If it's a comedy, the situations and the characters might be a little funnier, but you're just trying to be honest.

I don't watch like Sci-fi or things like that, I'm always more like real life is so endlessly fascinating to me.

I'm a different actor than you thought I was. Don't put me in a box. I'm not just some kid running around screaming curse words.

I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because you're an actor you want to write a book to exploit your celebrity, but my celebrity is only a byproduct of me making movies. I have no intention of being a celebrity.

New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'

Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.

The hardest thing for me to do, and the best thing I've done and learned as an actor is to sacrifice being funny in certain circumstances in order to do something that makes sense for the story or the character, or emotionally.
