“I sponsored every team in the Park Slope Little League for years.”

If I ever took the spare tire off of my car and was on a survival show, and Bear Grylls was like, “What you need to do in a survival situation is eat your tire,” I’d be like, “That’s moose nose!”

I thought maybe I would be everyone’s favorite dude-food friend.

When Lollapalooza started, and I was really into Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane’s Addiction, Soundgarden. I went to that Lollapalooza tour twice, I think.

I was never going to give my detractors the satisfaction of not feeling well, or allowing my health to falter while eating rich and indulgent food all over the world.

In the early ’90s I was floating somewhere between the Brat Pack/Andrew McCarthy/James Spader/Pretty In Pink kind of stuff and the alterna-pop look, crossed with a very distinct grunge sensibility.

I think in the U.K. people perhaps know me for some other stuff because of my involvement with soccer and support of Tottenham.

I love that team, I wear their symbol around my neck on a chain – I’ve always had a soft spot for this little club.

Shaq is Shaq. I did an episode of The Soup with Shaq, and he shook my hand, and I felt like I was a Ken doll, like I had no hand.

If it’s a question about stuff that matters to you personally, like favorite food, favorite piece of knowledge, favorite animal, it’s hard not to have an opinion and want to quantify things.

It was like, who’s life is this? It was splendid, and the nice thing was that they renewed my contract for another year.

What they’re saying is, “I know who you are. I watch your stuff.” What’s better than that? Gratitude is the attitude. That’s the thing. What am I being pissy about?

This is my ultimate hunger quest. This is Man v. Food.

The interesting thing with child actors is that kids are natural actors. They’re wonderful actors, and most kids are acting all the time. They’re imagining they’re out in the yard playing. They’re imagining that things happened, and they can get very vivid.

My stepdad provided me with an amazing childhood. I played outside like a normal kid, I rode my bike, I walked to school, but the happiest times were when I was acting.

Yes, heartbreak crushes you, but they also turn you into someone you as a kid always wanted to be.

What people don’t realize is that fame, whatever your worst experience in high school, when you were being bullied by those ten kids in high school, fame is that, but on a global scale, where you’re being bullied by millions of people constantly.

Kid, you’ll move mountains.

Until you have kids, you can’t imagine how much you could possibly love a human being.
