I am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back. I am every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. I am a bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour.

I've led a very isolated existence since I was 6 years old. It's kind of been me and my mind.

I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.

I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.

I'd made enough made money by the time I was 12 to never work again, so it's not about a big pay check with me.

I could have gone the route of a lot of these former child actors, but I didn't want that for myself. Like I said, when I was 14 years old, I decided to quit. I didn't ever want to do it again.

After seeing 'Big,' I wanted an elevator that opened directly into my apartment, just like Tom Hanks did.
