More quotes by Christian Slater
It's the obvious thing to say but artists want to be able to tell all kinds of stories and tear down every kind of wall, to look at ourselves and examine who we are and just get deeper insights into what makes us human beings. Anything that could possibly prevent that in our near future horrifies me to no end.

Christian Slater
If you can help guide somebody through a challenging moment because you've been there, that ends up becoming a great gift.
Christian Slater
I've been taking my time now between projects looking for stuff that has a little bit more substance, that isn't surface. Some of the films that I've done in the past really were surface.

The guys from Atari that are making the next Alone in the Dark game came and we had a great meeting. I'd love to do that. I'm a fan of video games. I like them. And to get to be part of one of them would be a fun and exciting thing.
Christian Slater
I did regret not graduating high school, but I made a point of going back and getting my GED later. It was important for my kids.
Christian Slater
The movies I've made at a certain time of my life were exactly right for the stage of my life, the frame of mind I was in at the time. Each character I've had to play has been me in that time in my life.
Christian Slater
As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.
Christian Slater
