Sometimes I feel I’m living a meaningless life, and I get frightened.

I was always raised on cowboy films, and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.

I come from garbage.

They’re very, uh, you know, I don’t come from the suburbs and a jolly, Disney type of lifestyle. I come from something totally different. And they’re cool and bare minimum so it’s not always a money issue for me.

If I want to party, I’ll party at my house.

People classify me as a laughy-daffy Disney kid, … Even Stevens.

Probably the sexiest woman I know is my mother.

And yeah, my handicap was down to a 10 when we were at the thick of it. I trained for six or seven months, golfing every day for six hours, seven days a week, with eight trainers. It was intense.

I go to sleep at night, and I feel like I just dreamed the whole day.

Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin.

There’s this coming-of-age thing that’s happening within me.

I am trying to impress myself. I have yet to do it.

Everybody’s got stories. I don’t want to not have stories.

I hated golf when we first started, but a big part of the training process was falling in love with this sport, so I went on tour with the UCLA Team.

I didn’t know my dad for a long time. My dad was on drugs and my dad was at the VA Hospital, my dad was off in his own world selling drugs or using them or there would be crack heads in the house or whatever it would be.

I like messing around, and I like working with artists who I respect.

It’s like a mockumentary about how … penguins started surfing, and how they started the sport.

I’m a little territorial and defensive. I don’t like having my space invaded.

My neighborhood was rough, but I live a great life now. I don’t fight that much now. I don’t look for it anyway, but if someone hits your mother, whether you’re a star, an accountant, or an astronaut or anything… I mean it’s your mother, so I lost my mind.

I’m a video game fan, and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character.

I’ve had to deal with all different types of situations – positive and negative and extremes of both.

My family, my parents are hippies.

I turned down a scholarship to Yale, … The problem with college is that there’s a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you’ll never be successful.

I understand why marriages break up over golf. I can’t even talk about my own handicap because it’s too upsetting.

I don’t know, I just want to be happy. I could be in a hole somewhere. Or I could completely lose it and be some hippy living in the woods with my dad.

I got kicked out of every school I ever went to.

Any time you’re a type, your career’s over.

To my mind, talent doesn’t really exist.

I can’t tell you how many hot dogs I’ve eaten in my life.

I wasn’t cocky, just confident; I went to an all black school, a white kid.

My mom is the backbone not just of my family but of many families.

I’ve learned a great deal about a certain type of filmmaking. But I have ambitions toward another type of filmmaking that I haven’t been allowed to engage in yet.

I think the audience is pretty intelligent.

All these animators are in there, and they go like [gasps], because it’s like a new thing, … It’s never been done like that before.

You can’t have bank holding companies acting as hedge funds. You can’t have them taking a million-dollar pension plan for Joe Schmo the bus driver and treat it with the same risk appetite that you treat George Soros’ pocket money. It’s fundamentally ridiculous.

I am a season ticket holder to Dodger games. I go to every Dodger game I can go to. Every single one.

My life is okay, my life is pretty good.

I think envy motivates a lot of people.

Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone.

I come from divorce. I’m only doing marriage once. It’s not a game for me.

If you’re trying to learn how to act from a class, you’re analyzing the teachers’ movements and their intricacies, and it becomes like a pantomime of you wanting to be them, and that’s wrong. Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin. It’s your own imagination,...

I’m an actor, but I’m an artist.

Comics, for me, is being able to sing alone in the shower. I find it freeing. You just pick up a pen and get to it.

When you’re working with the best of the best, I’m not gonna put that on hold so I can work with people who studied the best of the best.

There’s something about studying body language and non-spoken emotion – I know the innate response. But to really study it like a science would be fun.

I would like to be George Clooney diplomatic. I just don’t have the wherewithal yet or the inner serenity.

Have you ever noticed how most critics disagree with the public? That should tell you a lot about critics.

Now my dad is with me, traveling with me and a big part of this whole thing is I like to mix it up a little bit, you know. Who gets to take their father on a private jet across the country and stay in first class hotels? So we’re enjoying it, but I’d stop...

I trained more than anybody ever in a golf film ever made – my swing is pretty hot.

It’s kind of a self-help book for the ‘hood, if there is such a thing,
