The traveling and adventure always lift my spirits soaring with exhilaration.

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.

Strike a match, ignite my past.

Borrowed thoughts like borrowed money only show the poverty of the borrower.

O God-Man present in this sacrament for me - what a comfort, what a privilege to know I kneel before God! And to think that this God loves me!... Mary, my mother, help me to love him in return

I am lord of myself, accountable to none.

Each moment that passes changes you...You can't even own yourself. How can you ever hope to own anyone or anything else.

You speak what you believe, and you believe you’re doomed. If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout the years, it’s that what you believe is the impetus for your entire life.

But what is opportunity to the man who can't use it?

The transitory interests of royal houses may be advanced in war; the real interests of all people are furthered by the peace.

Money is cool, but being proud of yourself is something that's so rare.

My skin is like a map of where my heart has been And I can't hide the marks It's not a negative thing.
