I think everyone roots for the underdog.
I don't care what other people think.
People think by challenging me they're going to show they're tough. But I'm not tough. Decent drinker. Not such a bad kisser. But not a great fighter.
I do get obsessed with constantly thinking of ideas, all day long, but that's just how it is.
I think I'm a little concussed.
A couple days before the stunts, if I'm doing something particularly dangerous, I will go over every worst-case scenario in my head, like this could happen, this could happen, this could happen, this could happen. I try to think about that to where it's ingrained in me.
I just try to think of all the things that could go wrong so in that split second when it happens, maybe your body reacts in a way where it protects you just a little.
Suffering will get you great footage. I don't know about closer to God. Although there have been times when I've suffered to the point where I think I might be about to meet him.
Doctors have told me I have a high pain threshold, but I can only know what I feel. I think I'm good at minimising the pain and being indifferent to it.
I should quit, but man we have so much fun.
The worse the reviews, the better for our demographic.
I think he meant to be there for a few days, but I gave him some moonshine after the first day and didn't see Quentin for a few days,
Yeah, well, I'm not gonna be in theaters for a while. You'll have a whole year without me.
I don't feel I really had anything to prove, ... The part was offered to me outright, so I didn't audition for it. But pretty much Southern, ne'er-do-well, you know, father of a beautiful little girl ... Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much me. Yeah.
