I hope people don't think I'm crazy, because I'm not.
I had all the fame anyone could want, and I ran away from it.
I felt like I had two fathers. I had my real father and the father in my head.
I don't even know how to define myself. I'm a person who writes. It's something I enjoy, and hopefully people enjoy it as well.
After seeing 'Big,' I wanted an elevator that opened directly into my apartment, just like Tom Hanks did.
I am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back. I am every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. I am a bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour.
I have a lot of growing up to do, or a lot of growing down. I think that's probably more appropriate.
People still recognize me all the time on the street. The first thing they say when they stop me is, 'Where have you been?' The second comment they make is always, 'Oh, you've grown up.
I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.
It's about finding unique, one-of-a-kind films that I would want to see myself. I think 'Party Monster' is one of those.
I'd made enough made money by the time I was 12 to never work again, so it's not about a big pay check with me.
Math is one of my favorite subjects.
I did 14 movies in six years, I had a cartoon TV show, and I don't want to do that again. I just want to make unique pieces of art. That's why I quit everything when I was 14 and sat around for eight years before I did another movie.
Acting found me. I thought maybe I should try to find it again. We'll see.
