"People think that they're special or different just because they're an actor. I think there's a romantic notion about artistry and drugs because of the obvious creative impact that some drugs have in the short term. I think people enable performers to do drugs. It's okay for them because they're creating and that's the lifestyle and they need it because they have such pressures. But I don't think those are such great reasons. There are tons of people out there that go through problems, drug addiction, alcoholism, whatever. Look how many plumbers and construction workers, bankers and stock-market guys are walking around the corner buying bags of dope every day. I just think that human beings have an addictive nature."

"It's not like I'm hanging out at shopping malls or going to celebrity golf tournaments. I'm so in my own little world. I got my dog, my music, my brother, a couple of friends."

"I don't like doing interviews. I'm not pretending to be some superneurotic, hiding in my closet. I could care less about anybody knowing who I am, but I realize this is part of the game. Maybe if I really hated this whole public thing, I would go do plays in Hoboken."

"I've dreamt of sharks my whole life. I dream of being surrounded by thousands of sharks that are chewing me to bits. I've always had really wild, intense, vivid, vivid dreams."

"I have pretty apocalyNptic, insane dreams. I dream frequently of sharks in the sea underneath me, biting me in half. I dreamt last night that I was an alien creature, kind of like a phoenix or a griffin or something, and my skin was made of fire, and I was battling another creature above the earth, and I could see the curvature of the world. That was pretty on par with most of my dreams."

"I listen to a lot of '80s soundtrack music. Sometimes The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink but more of the Tangerine Dream-type stuff. Aphex Twin is always fun to sleep to. I've always loved Bjork, and Peter Gabriel's Passion [Music For the Last Temptation of Christ] is one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard."
