When I was in high school. I was considered really weird and strange, and people kind of kept their distance.
My old man taught me a lot of stuff in his death that I don't even know if he would have been able to teach me had he been alive. And that was to never do stuff that can jeopardize the people you love and hurt them.
I really don't like hurting people; I like making people feel good.
Living life at a young age is like being a sponge thrust into the ocean. You absorb what's around you. If you're around people who are supportive and positive, that's how you look at the world.
I just want people to recognize my father as an artist who was way ahead of his time. He was a genius. His life just burnt out quicker than it should have. And that is unfortunate, but what is more unfortunate is that everybody focuses on the nature of his death as opposed to the nature of his life, which was so much greater and more important.
When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school.
People who have seen my movies don't look at me like an idol. They just give me a lot of love and respect.
People don't think I can construct a sentence, let alone write a script.
I don't know what my daughter will become.
I didn't see 'Star Wars' in theaters until George Lucas re-tweaked it.
I did '24;' it was terrible. I hated every moment of it.
A car just gets me from A to B. I really don't spend that much time driving.
A couple of years ago, right before I made 'Down to You,' there was a moment when I questioned what I was doing and if it meant anything. I felt like I wasn't accomplishing anything, that the goals I'd set were silly goals. Finally, I realized I just loved acting. It was a very clear moment, and my whole life changed then.
When I was a kid, 'Star Wars' was it. Like, it's in your DNA. I'm old enough to have seen the original one.
