The way I like to measure greatness is... How many people can you make want to be better?

Coming from sitcom television and coming from music you burn up every single second. You don't leave anything there. You burn it up and you pass out when you walk off stage, so I took that concept into acting.

I had a hit single on the radio for 30 days before I graduated from high school.

You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there are two things: You're getting off first, or I'm going to die. It's really that simple, right?

I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.

On learning to swim: I'm too big to have some woman hold my stomach and say 'Now kick your feet.'

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't driving around on a bus and having a campfire kind of adding to the environment problem?
