We're just trying to make ourselves laugh. We realize critics are going to hate it, but it just makes fans like it more.
When I used to go into bars people would try and fight me. Women would punch me 10 years ago or put cigarettes out on my arm or my face. But it doesn't seem to happen any more. They show us a lot of love.
'I know this is going to end bad, but I'm going to pretend it's going to end good.' My life's philosophy.

My parents said that I was nine months old and would throw myself out of the crib onto the floor continually. As soon as they left the room after putting me back in they'd hear a big bump and I'd be on the floor again.

I'm not looking to lose anything. I'm looking to continue making movies.
A couple days before the stunts, if I'm doing something particularly dangerous, I will go over every worst-case scenario in my head, like this could happen, this could happen, this could happen, this could happen. I try to think about that to where it's ingrained in me.

I love the tabloids except for when I'm in 'em.
Coal mining is tough. Acting is just tedious.
