I don't need an Iron Man suit. I'm already a weapon of mass seduction.

Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. That's hard enough.

I saw School of Rock, and I was like, why haven't I worked with Richard Linklater already? Then by the time I got him I was like, I'm really pissed off I feel like you owe me some retroactive swag. He gave me the 10-year anniversary "Dazed and Confused" T-shirt, which I still wear with relish.

I'm not a method guy. I can't be bothered to have a method. I just want to be a part of a good movie and I can't stand to be surrounded by morons.

Every time I feel that I really hit critical mass and I'm in the right place is when I feel like the director and I become a third thing, and that's the character.

Smoking dope and smoking coke, you are rendered defenseless. The only way out of that hopeless state is intervention.

I make faces for cash and chicken.
