"I'm used to being the weirdest person in the room. Here I don't even make the top ten"
"Where have we come if all the scripts are about guns and dicks? I want to do films about spirituality and what's really going on in the undercurrent of this majestic reality…films were people discover themselves."
"Anything that is provocative is worth while."
"I can't tell you what a pleasure it is just to take a nice shower. It's so cool--using a hair dryer again, good towels. I can lock the door if I want."
"Right when I got out of jail I really had a hankering for a Carl's Jr. burger, but I couldn't find one."

"I don't need a fucking acting career. If I have one, great. If things crash and I never do another movie agian, I don't give a fuck. I could do a million other things, some of which might be a lot more gratifying than acting."
"From now on, I'm going to do things I value, for whatever stupid reason."
"I scare myself. What's amazing is, no matter how much I fuck up, it keeps straightening itself out..."
"Walking the line between creativity and self-destruction scares me. People have always said to me, 'The only thing that can stand in your way is you.'
