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.

As a senior in high school, you figure out what you want to do with your life. I asked myself if I wanted to get back into acting and thought: 'Yes, but under my own terms and nothing like it was before.'

I'm not expecting the American literary community to welcome me with open arms. To them I'm just some schmuck kid who wrote some book.

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 can go to any restaurant without a reservation, but while I'm there, everyone's gonna be staring.

A lot of people meet me and they're like, 'Why aren't you crazy?'

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