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

My life certainly hasn't been ordinary: different is the word. It hasn't always been stable - except in the important things which are love and security within the family. Whenever there were strains at home, we could always communicate. The rule was that the younger you were, the louder you were allowed to scream. As the eldest, I just talked.

I would rather quit while I was ahead. There’s no need in overstaying your welcome.

When I was in first grade, everyone made fun of my name, of course. I think it's kind of a big name to hold up when you're nine years old. It seemed goofy. I used to tell people I wanted to change the world and they used to think, 'This kid's really weird'.

I'm a minor, stupid talent compared to my brother [Joaquin].

Sometimes I wish I wasn't as conscious as I am. It would be so much easier.

I did my best work in The Mosquito Coast. I know it wasn't such a big hit, but for me it was more meaningful than anything else I'd ever done.
