My acting career began at age three and my parents got me into it. I was in a McDonald's commercial.
I'm a bit of a hippie.
Fatherhood is the most amazing thing that could ever have happened in my life.
I'm more than an actor. I'm an icon, an industry.
I feel very fortunate to have been a part of many successful contemporary horror franchises.
It did not feel like something that was going to take over my life and destroy it. It felt like a subtle flower instead of a manipulative demon. That's the mystery of heroin.
Becoming an actor wasn't a choice, it was something I was forced into. At 3, you can't make those choices... I supported my family, and if I got fired or missed an audition, I'd be punished as if I'd messed up in school. I was starved, because they wanted to keep my weight at a certain place; my hair was bleached; that was my life. I wasn't allowed to play with kids on my block or ride a bike or play ball, in case I got a scratch, I wasn't even allowed to be bar mitzvahed because I couldn't attend enough lessons.
There are many ways of giving thanks. Eating turkeys doesn't have to be one of them.
It's funny; I actually made poorer decisions when I sobered up then when I was screwed up.
I never used needles, but I was into heroin, cocaine - those are the things I'll never touch again.
People do not realize this, but my drug addiction was actually a short span of time. It was only for two years.
On the musical side, I always wanted to kind of carry on Pink Floyd's sound. You know, Pink Floyd always had such an original, creative and masterful sound, but there are no new albums. My thought was that there's a way to keep their sound alive.
When I am working, I am working. When I am promoting, I am promoting. The rest of the time, I try to stay under the radar a bit.
I knew how to read a contract by 10 years old, but I didn't know what it meant for somebody to come in and tell me they loved me and kiss me goodnight. That's a problem.
