You spend so much time developing a character when you do a film; so much of your work is done before you get set to shoot because you've been working on the character: the way he walks, the way he talks, what might upset him, what might make him happy.
If entertainment years were dog years, man, I'd be like Gandhi. I'd be, like, 250 years old.
My career decisions have nothing to do with my personal life.
With the exception of octopus, I don't think I've met any food that I didn't like. And by the way, sometimes I do like octopus. I'm just not crazy about it by itself. I love sea urchin. I love uni. If I'm going to die of anything, it's going to be gluttony.
I used to keep my Air Jordans icy white. I had one toothbrush for my teeth - and a couple of toothbrushes for my shoes.
I think I have to laugh about the fact that I grew up in public. All these weird stages in my teenage years are documented. Why did no one tell me how terrible some of those outfits were?

I'm not in this for the money because if I was, I would have jumped out after our first album.
We want to help kids affected by the tragedy as much as we can.
The gray area, the place between black and white - that's the place where life happens.
The most boring thing in the world? Silence.
