How much cooler was Oz than seeing the little dude behind the curtain?

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.

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.

You sing in my mind and dance in my heart.

The worst thing about a bore is not that he won't stop talking but that he won't let you stop listening.

Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.

No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal.

There's a whole journalistic-industrial complex dedicated to keeping newsprint, TV screens and radio waves clean of destabilizing scoops damaging to corporations or the state.

I'm a hopeful romantic. In a couple of drinks, I'll be a lucky romantic. That's why they call me Mr. Lucky.

It is inevitable that those to whom is vouchsafed a long life of usefulness should outlive the friends of their youth.

A man can be called ruthless if he bombs a country to oblivion. A woman can be called ruthless if she puts you on hold.

I just find that humans are predictable and stupid and animals and nature are a lot more magical to me. I'm just interested in magic, and not the silly humans.

You help me, I'll help you. That's politics.
