The actors that I do know are people who I think have souls, you know?

I don't hang out with agents and producers and I'm not into the business side at all.

I was very lucky because Tim Burton really gave me a career. I don't think Hollywood would've known what to do with me. If I hadn't done 'Beetlejuice,' I think I would've just gone back to my school.

As a character, it's very interesting to play someone who wants to change their life and have him change it.

I'm quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I've been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.

Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.

If something brilliant comes along but I really feel like it's too old for me - that I'm not gonna have the experience it takes - I'm not gonna do it. Even if it's "a big mistake for my career".
