I was named after the next-door neighbor's German shepherd. It was either that or Cadillac Smith.

[My father did] advertising. That's why I got into this business. I think because we're really boxes of soap - actors and singers. You're artists, but in the public eye it's a matter of advertising.

Everything is disposable now: disposable lighters, disposable blades, disposable stars. They inflate you up for one big deal and then they look for someone else.

I'm too much of a planner. I would have been a dentist; that's what I was thinking of being. Dr. Rex, open wide and say "Ah." I think I'd look good in a smock.

I can get into politics. I'm a pretty straight guy for this business. I have a pretty healthy outlook.

I'm very close to my parents and we built a sailboat together when I was growing up. We're partners.

I was the only guy who is referred to as Mr. Smith in the New York Times and in the same week as Sexy Rexy in some teen magazine.
