“I’m very specific about scripts that I like. I don’t have a master plan or, like, a game plan. I don’t have a chart that I’m following or anything like that. I’m very much playing it by ear.”

I don’t think there are any rules in real face-to-face relationships or interactions.

In the back of my mind, I can never forget this could be gone tomorrow – and at this point I think the odds are against me…

I don’t understand how some people would want fame so bad that they’d go out and get negative attention to earn it.

I think if a girl is easy to talk to then that’s the first thing I look for.

The one you actually get to do when you’re filming, and then the one you wish you would have done, afterward.

Sometimes you grow out of love.

There’s no point in being scared of just trying.

Certain things just happen and it’s undeniable, you just go that way. But I don’t have a specific path I’m following, I’m just playing it by ear.

Whether it’s going out and auditioning for the play or trying out for the basketball team, you have to explore your boundaries and see where you really want to go and the only way you can do that is to break out of your shell.

I think the most important thing is to establish myself as an actor. As much as it’s a performing art, I’m not really a performer.

I think going through ‘Hairspray’ and other projects helped me learn about the business and life in general.

You gotta watch out for the moms.

Working out is my biggest hobby. It’s my Zen hour. I just zone out.

She was really spontaneous and fun and loved to make us sing and dance and paint. She was the coolest person in the world.

You see, Batman is a billionaire and there’s nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

Personally, I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.

She could carry off anything; and some people said that she did.

Only a bad artist thinks he has a good idea. A good artist does not need anything.

One of the absolute rules I learned in the war was, don’t know anything you don’t need to know, because if you ever get caught they will get it out of you.

What use is revelation or religion if it doesnt change anything?

I don’t have to explain anything to anybody.

And I decided then and there that that was it. I never wanted to do anything else. It was better than it had been with any man, you know. Maybe that’s the trouble.

Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you’re doing something.
