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

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

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.

I actually went to university.

I can’t run. I start getting twinges. If I were filmed running, it would be awful.

If anything I consider myself an anarchist.

I discovered is that I have a couple of valves that were leaky and had been giving, gave me a problem then. But I hadn’t noticed anything up until then.

I don’t know how many of you have been to New York, but if a building is two blocks away from anything, you can’t see it.

That was the easiest part of all. I couldn’t wait to get to the ballpark I’d be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that’s why the veterans liked me.

I don’t have anything against organized religions, except when they engender hatred for other religions.

I couldn’t think of anything less appealing than molding the minds of tomorrow’s leaders.

Good schools for me to prepare myself for a career, and, if I worked hard and played by the rules, a chance for me to do anything I wanted.

Some of my colleagues seem more interested in using every procedural method possible to keep the Senate from doing anything than they are in creating jobs or helping Americans struggling in a difficult economy.
