“I am going to continue to work hard, but I do not take it too seriously, I just do what feels right and I really want to have a good time.”

You know, I’m a pretty mellow guy. I’m pretty easy-going. I see everyone’s perspective.

If you play with people who are better than you, then you get better.

I have an airplane hangar with 17 cars in it. That’s no joke. I have a ‘half pipe’ in there, too – you know, like a big ramp, where I skateboard. It’s awesome. It’s the ultimate fantasy.

My philosophy is: If you can’t have fun, there’s no sense in doing it.

I like having to figure out how to pull things off, how to sell it, how to make it look real, but not just real, make it look better.

You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.

I’m extremely competitive, so when people start counting me out or trying to categorize me, I sorta get hungry.

Remember That No Matter How Cool You Think You May Be, You Are Not Cool Enough To Look Down On Any One, Ever.

I’m as interested in photographing the film crew as much as the actors and actresses.

What I find really difficult is making career decisions.

I feel I have lived my whole life, day to day, without planning anything and I like it that way. Things change so fast, one minute you are here, the next minute you are on a plane, it’s great fun.

I’m really close to all of my family.

I always find film-making a pleasurable experience.

There’s more to life than movies.

Attitude is attitude, whether you’re a West Coast gangster or East Coast gangster, you know?

I’ve always wanted to race cars, ever since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.

For my best poems were all written when I felt the worst. When I was happy, I didn’t write anything.

I can resist everything except temptation.

People magazine with a bag of sour cream and onion chips always makes be feel a bit trashy. But good trashy.

We have to reconceptualize and understand that the act of pursuing our dreams and being our full selves is what allows us to feel alive.

Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.

I felt suicidal. I couldn’t stop crying. I remember thinking, wouldn’t it be great if the car crashed and I died?

One single act done with aridity of spirit is worth more than many done with feelings of devotion.

Feeling irritated, restless, afraid, and hopeless is a reminder to listen more carefully.
