I'd like to play every type of character, but only once. I like to expierence things.

Animals are not our playthings. We are on this earth to protect them. It's our duty.

It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.

Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on.

What I have got from my childhood aren't toys, but memories. And happy memories are better than any toy.

After Stand By Me came out, people were telling me, 'You're so good,' 'You're going to be a star,' and things like that. You can't think about it. If you take it the wrong way, you can really get high on yourself. People get so lost when that happens to them. They may think they have everything under control, but everything is really out of control. Their lives are totally in pieces.

Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.
