I feel like every movie is definitely the last one that I've had my moment; that I'm going to be selling autographs at malls.

That's what I grew up loving. Whether it's 30 Rock or The Office or Parks And Rec... I don't know if those still work on network today or not, but The Grinder did not. But the great news is that it lives on on Netflix.

They (teenage boys)don’t really listen to speeches or talks. They absorb incrementally, through hours and hours of observation.

I was sick of playing high-school kids. I liked being a teenager, but I would not go back for all the tea in China.

I was not familiar with the book [before filming in The Outsiders] , though. Interestingly, The Outsiders had not reached the point where it is now, where it's required reading in sixth and seventh grades. In my sixth and seventh grade, we did not, but today everyone does.

Directors are not worried about casting beautiful women, but they are not sure that they want to cast great-looking men. My looks have prevented people from seeing my work objectively.

There was a period in my life where I went out a lot and I had a really good time. But that period is over.
