"My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat."
"I don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of."

"I prefer ordinary girls - you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with a girl, it doesn't mean we are dating."
"When I was young I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything I used to think 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'"
"Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act."
"The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out."
"You can make history, or you will be vilified by it."
