Artistic ambition is important. And it seems it would be a great time to do some theatre, like a new extreme.

On 'Into The Wild' I spent months risking my life and on 'Speed Racer' I spent 60 days acting in front of a green screen. No danger to my physical self, but I sure had to use my imagination.

I think I've always been half out of my shell and half in. Sometimes I can be extremely wild and sometimes I can be extremely shy. It just depends on the day.

I'm not a ball in a pinball machine. I know what I want.

When I got a lap dance, because I was 17, they had to put a massive pillow between me and the girl when she was grinding me. It was weird, yet pleasurable.

James Dean taught me not to speed, River Phoenix taught me not to DO speed, and Marlon Brando taught me to slow down on the cheeseburgers.

I identify with someone wanting something to work out, but not being able to get through the rocks to the river.

As far as dieting and weight loss go, diet and exercise actually works. Lots of running and healthy eating.

Maybe you will be afraid and maybe you will fail, but the courage to take risks in any part of your life is, I feel, a very worthwhile way to live.

I'm sort of like a rat in a maze - I'm moving forward, and any choice I make at the time seems like the only one I can make.

Shooting in 3D hasn't really affected the way I work as an actor that much. Maybe that's not a good thing. Maybe I'm not being diligent enough.

Dominance is only for GOD.

Don't you make fun of me or my children! Some babies are premature. Mine were all postmature. That's why they're so smart. Their brains had longer to develop.

Failure? I never encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks.

Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings?

How starved you must have been that my heart became a meal for your ego.

The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone's cool.

Nature has got it all wrong: When you are younger, it should be harder to get pregnant, and as you get older it should be easier.

A gamester, as such, is the cool, calculating, essential spirit of concentrated, avaricious selfishness.

Good design is ubiquitous and forever.

But huge photographs of dead bodies are slightly different. I couldn't find much humor there.
