When you see a guy flying into the air on fire, that's not me, obviously. I do all the water tricks, though.

People actually were worried that I was going to get stereotyped as a monster after Freddy, but my God, I got stereotyped as white trash for years, the best friend for years, the redneck for years, the nerd for years and let me tell you...it's better to be a monster than to be a nerd.

Arguably, the Venice Film Festival is the second best film festival in the world, after Cannes.

I liked girls with pale skin because I am a California boy, tanned and blonde hair.

When you're on a sound stage and you're shooting a fire stunt, this weird thing happens where the fire eats up all the oxygen and everybody gets a little dingy.

That's the thing with independent cinema: They all get good reviews, and they don't make money. Some of them are good. Some are great. And some are terrible.

I love fire. Fire is hypnotic.
