I don't really like the slogan 'It boy.'

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.

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.

A thousand words blossomed to her lips and died there, because no amount of speaking could communicate the depths of how he’d affected her. Of how he’d changed her.

The unencumbered stage encourages the truth operative in everyone. The less seen the more heard. The eye is the enemy of the ear in real drama.

The worse my drawings were, the more beautiful did the originals appear.

I will kick you in the nuts and you will smile and like it.

I look for something that grabs me and that's heartfelt, and that's coming from a good place. I want to work with good actors and with directors that I can learn from.

Most wives think of their husbands as bumbling braggarts with whom they happen to be in love.

Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.

In society one needs a flexible virtue; too much goodness can be blamable.

For a noble heart, the most precious gift becomes poor, when the giver stops loving.
