“I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.” “My body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist.” “I lost my virginity somewhere around age thirteen. I did every kind of drug there was by fourteen, swiped a few six-packs, broke into a few classrooms, just to see what was on the other side of that locked door. Eventually, you see where it's headed and you get out.” “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.” “For me, ambition has become a dirty word. I prefer hunger. To be hungry - great. To have hopes, dreams - great.” “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 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.” “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.” “I think the thing to do is enjoy the ride while you're on it.” “I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do.” “I pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.” “I’m not sure I’m adult yet.” “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 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.” “That's the interesting thing about becoming a father. Suddenly you universally have something in common with other people. I can be sitting next to a very straight, humorless businessman or stockbroker type on an airplane and we'll just start talking about kids. And that conversation last three or four hours.” “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 only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.” “Trips to the dentist - I like to postpone that kind of thing.” “Awards are not as important to me as when I meet a 10-year-old kid who says, 'I love Captain Jack Sparrow'.” “Ohh yeah.. I play with barbies all the time.” “More than anything, I love being with my family. I'm like a total homebody, just hanging out with my kids.” "I'd just thank the people out there who have been with my up-and-down, weird-road, strange career and supported me and stuck with me all these years. I mean, they're my boss. That's what keeps me working." "I don't want to be 85 years old and have my grandkids go, Ewwww. Grandpa did some dumb shit. I'd rather have them say, Wow, man, you're nuts!"
