Am I a romantic? I've seen Wuthering Heights ten times. I'm a romantic.
Anything I've done up till May 27th 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.
As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too.
France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster.
I am doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.
I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do.
I guess I'm attracted to these off beat roles because my life has been a bit abnormal. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.
I may have a feather duster down my pants.
I pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.
I remember in that red leisure suit I sort of felt like a Pizza Hut employee, and the white one was the ultimate, with the white turtleneck collar, that was the ultimate in bad taste.
I think everybody's nuts.
I think the thing to do is enjoy the ride while you're on it.
I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you're on it.
I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots.
I'm an old-fashioned guy... I want to be an old man with a beer belly sitting on a porch, looking at a lake or something.
I'm not sure I'm adult yet.
I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.
If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.
It's all kinds of these profound things crashing on you when your child arrives into the world. It's like you've met your reason to live.
It's good to experience Hollywood in short bursts, I guess. Little snippets. I don't think I can handle being here all the time, it's pretty nutty.
Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all.
The beauty, the poetry of the fear in their eyes. I didn't mind going to jail for, what, five, six hours? It was absolutely worth it.
The fact that I am the dad is the most surprising thing. I love my family very much. And here's the part where I become the cliche father: I have never in my life thought it was possible to feel such deep love, such an incredible connection to this amazing little human being. She's an angel.
The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.
The only gossip I'm interested in is things from the Weekly World News - 'Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured'. That kind of thing.
The quality of life is so different in France. There is the possibility of living a simple life. I would never contemplate raising my daughter in LA. I would never raise any child there.
There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.
There are necessary evils. Money is an important thing in terms of representing freedom in our world. And now I have a daughter to think about. It's really the first time I've thought about the future and what it could be.
There's a drive in me that won't allow me to do certain things that are easy.
Tomorrow it'll all be over, then I'll have to go back to selling pens again.
Trips to the dentist - I like to postpone that kind of thing.
When kids hit one year old, it's like hanging out with a miniature drunk. You have to hold onto them. They bump into things. They laugh and cry. They urinate. They vomit.
With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.
You use your money to buy privacy because during most of your life you aren't allowed to be normal.
