The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.

People still recognize me all the time on the street. The first thing they say when they stop me is, "Where have you been?" The second comment they make is always, "Oh, you've grown up."

Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.

Because of what I did when I was 10 years old, I'm not living from paycheck to paycheck, and I can do things because I want to do them.

I'm the most out-of-work actor I know. In the last two years I've basically taken meetings for a living.

I did 14 movies in six years, I had a cartoon TV show, and I don't want to do that again. I just want to make unique pieces of art. That's why I quit everything when I was 14 and sat around for eight years before I did another movie.

I hope I'm remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won't happen.
