Acting is the only time when I truly maintain the spontaneity that I want to be present at all times.

I spent a long time in art school so I can really draw. I'll doodle and suddenly I'll find the beginning of the movie in one picture. Usually, I start my stuff on the telephone. Right by the telephone I've got a book of doodles. When I'm on the phone, I'll be doing a drawing eventually.

I don't think there's a specific science you can put on dream psychology. I think that it's up to the, obviously, the individual.

Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs.

I'm a big history buff so to walk the streets...the ancient world like that was pretty astounding.

When I was doing 'This Boy's Life' I wanted to be as old as Robert DeNiro and as experienced as him and have the same respect as he did in that movie.

I remember when I first started having these interpretations of these images, these clichés of what movie stars are and this and that, and they're egomaniacal pricks and tyrants, but in general, for the most part, they're nice people to tell you the truth.
