You show me a perfect person and I'll show you somebody who has lived a very closed life.

I go through phases where I'll overuse words. S.E. Hinton, who wrote The Outsiders - she and I have been in contact for the 50th anniversary of the book - and she said, "You still owe me the 10 dollars that we bet that you couldn't stop saying the word 'gnarly.'"

If people are attracted to me, I like to think it's because I'm an interesting person, fairly smart, well-rounded, with a good sense of humor. I would like to think that's what I am. I would like to think people see it.

The press concentrates on a divorce an actor's going through and they ignore the good performances he gives, or the causes that he works for.

I have never felt at any point in my life, good or bad, any ill will ever from the man or woman on the street.

I happen to be a movie star, but I'm not saying, "Hey, I'm a role model. Imitate me."

There's an argument that maybe [The Grinder] was better suited for streaming or cable. I don't know. I still like to think there's a place for smart, subversive, original comedies on networks.
