I'm not 40 yet. I wouldn't even bother comparing myself to Chaplin.

You can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary, and really understand it, and come out a liberal.

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.

Whenever I watch someone doing something, even if it doesn't turn out so great, I at least admire their intentions and stuff.

I think the goal is to make a well written scene seem like it's improvised and/or to come up with things that you find in the room that you couldn't have known until you get into the real situation, just try to improve things as you go along.

I take some pride in... representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids.

Discipline for me is about respect. It's not even about self-respect; it's about respect for life and all it offers.
