“My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.”

Never agree to say or do anything that isn’t you.

I’d rather be shot than be seen falling out of some trendy club.

Half my fan mail comes from Japan.

When I was at school, I was in choirs more than anything else, from a very young age, about 9 years old. And then I started taking drum lessons.

I always looked really young for my age. And once I hit 23, 24 and 25, I was then allowed to play the cool 18-year-olds and stuff.

Sexuality is a topic that has huge shifts in -society. Attitudes toward different sexualities change, but the actual sexuality of a human being is something that’s consistent, and it’s consistently interesting, and so people write about it.

I have done lots of music projects in my life and some of them I am more proud of than others.

I don’t really know who I am as an actor: the best thing would be to experiment with it for the next 30 years and never really find out.

I don’t really see the point in making a film unless you can think of a good reason to do it.

When you’re doing a film, people are always telling you exactly what to do. Literally, your own decisions are taken away from you.

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors in the history of ever.

I want to take advantage of any popularity I have.

I didn’t have any pets growing up.

I am comfortable playing the fool, I think.

I swim a lot. I swim most days.

I’m not really an animal person.

Dad, one of my first memories is of sharing my worry with you about the space shuttle poking holes in the atmosphere and letting out all of Earth’s air.

My dad and my mom had to sacrifice so much, and had to teach us and show us the way of going about things, how to be humble, all those things. They helped us stay on track for what we wanted to do.

My dad was born in Chicago in 1908… his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago, where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children – in the backroom all together – and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.

My dad told me if I was ever intimidated by anyone, just picture them with their clothes off. He said that’s how he dealt with my mom.

My dad’s like, If your mom and I are having sex and we videotape it and she falls out of bed funny, can I win ten-thousand dollars?

When you get pure joy out of ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’ or ‘seeing,’ that’s when you realize how big and unexplainable some things are and being a dad is one of those very few things.

My dad was an engineer, and he became the CEO of Chevron. His was an engineer’s mind-set: Everything’s kind of a problem how do you approach the problem?

My dad was a dentist but I wasn’t a hygienist. I assisted my dad.
