As an actor, the minute you start getting real in interviews, you lose mystery.

People are still emulating the old fashioned criminal.

I wasn't cocky, just confident; I went to an all black school, a white kid.

I don't know, I just want to be happy. I could be in a hole somewhere. Or I could completely lose it and be some hippy living in the woods with my dad.

And I'm not a personality; otherwise I'd be coming out with an album, performing on MTV. All that stuff is possible and I can do that tomorrow. I just have no need.

There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist. You give Terrence Malick a movie like Transformers, and he's f***ed. There's no way for him to exist in that world... Lars Von Trier's dangerous. He scares me. And I'm only going to work now when I'm terrified.

To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.
