When I was a teen idol, I was so goddamn pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously.
I don't look back with any bitterness, though there are a couple of judgment calls and some '80s hairdos that I'd like to do over.
Everybody is naughty, everybody is good.
I am the guy dressing up in, you know, the caveman outfit for the kids birthday parties.
Last night, we were all watching Harry Potter in bed, and I thought, 'This isn't something you have when you're single, that's for sure.'
Show me someone who doesn't have some sort of experience that they would be uncomfortable for people to know about and I'll show you a dullard.
Sampling, statisticians have told us, is a much more effective way of getting a good census.
I'll be sober ten years and married nine soon.
I have a lot of great memories, but I can't imagine anything more exciting than the life I have now.
I believe in ceremony. I think ceremony is important, pomp and circumstance, tradition. I'm into those things.
I think it was Alfred Hitchcock who said 90 percent of successful moviemaking is in the casting. The same is true in life. Who you are exposed to, who you choose to surround yourself with, is a unique variable in all of our experiences and it is hugely important in making us who we are. Seek out interesting characters, tough adversaries and strong mentors and your life can be rich, textured, highly entertaining and successful, like a Best Picture winner. Surround yourself with dullards, people of vanilla safety and unextraordinary ease, and you may find your life going straight to DVD.
Everybody is God. Everybody is the devil. And if you don't realize you have both parts, that's what really causes problems.
There is no recovery for anyone without lifting the lid on the pain of the past and letting in the light.
Any time an opportunity scares you that much, you should seriously consider saying yes.
