People were going to geometry class and I was swimming through vats of chili on 'Even Stevens.' It was like a dream!

I turned down a scholarship to Yale. The problem with college is that there's a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you'll never be successful.

There's a way to do an acid trip like Harold & Kumar, and there's a way to be on acid. What I know of acting, Sean Penn actually strapped up to that electric chair in Dead Man Walking. These are the guys that I look up to.

It's very weird because the 'It' guy usually is not the 'It' guy next year or even a guy that anyone is talking about.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

I got kicked out of every school I ever went to.

If I have enough money to eat I'm good.
