When I really get invested in something, the one thing that really disappoints me is when it breaks its own rules.

Making a movie with Lindsay Lohan is not for the faint of heart.

A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.

Mind your own business.

I love working in New Zealand. It's just the most beautiful country I've ever been to.

For my money, if I'm playing anything then it has to have some sharp angles on it. It's got to have some edges that you can cut yourself on, otherwise it's boring.

Comedy has to be so much cleaner than drama. You can't layer it in the way you can a dramatic performance. Which is why it's more difficult than drama - you don't have so many tricks.

A character, their ability or inability to laugh at themselves should always be a very, very conscious choice. It's a very big key to the nature of a human being.

I pretty much always choose characters. That's what I do. That's what I look for. I look for dynamics in a script and potential.

I'm a huge fan of classic sci-fi.

I was born in New Zealand, so I have a lot of family there.

I have always done what I wanted to do.

It's mind-altering when you slip into someone else's shoes. That's psychedelic, man.

Everything is so sad and so wonderful.

The compulsion to take ourselves seriously is in inverse proportion to our creative capacity. When the creative flow dries up, all we have left is our importance.

I play the way I do cause it allows me to come up w/ the sickest sounds possible. That's the point now isn't it?

How many airports are there in the world?

There is only one history of any importance, and it is the history of what you once believed in, and the history of what you came to believe in.

How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?

With sports, you get the results back right away. With life, it's not always so black and white.

I just find that there's something about looking back on interviews, whether for purposes of remembering what I said about something or if it's for posterity when I'm 75.
