Work is my hobby, staying sober is my job.
Christian Slater
I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.
Christian Slater
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 have brought a PS2 on set with me before. But games can be really addicting, and that's dangerous. So I tend to keep it fairly limited on a certain level.
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 was always such an incredible fan of John Woo, I just wanted to do this film with him.
Christian Slater
There's something about doing theatre in London - it sinks a little bit deeper into your soul as an actor. It's something about the tradition of theatre, about performing on the West End stage.
Christian Slater
I think games are starting to branch out. It's not just guys sitting at their computer stations. Games are so fun, that everybody gets into them a little bit.
Christian Slater
This is what Hollywood tends to do. It tends to disregard tradition, history and anything factual, twisting it and turning it and making it all okay regardless of what the English may think of it.
Christian Slater
I can promote until I am blue in the face, but ultimately nobody knows what makes a hit.
Christian Slater
I don't think of myself as offbeat and weird. As a kid, I saw myself as the type of guy who would run into a burning building to save the baby.
Christian Slater
My mistakes do happen on a grand scale and very public level. They're humiliating, embarrassing. But if nothing bad happens to you, you'll just continue to act ridiculous.
Christian Slater
If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?
Christian Slater
I want to do films I can relate to emotionally.
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
It doesn't matter who we are, how rich we are, how poor we are, famous or not famous, we all have a short window of time here on the planet and what are we going to do with it?
Christian Slater
I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.
Christian Slater
That is the responsibility of the artist, of the actor, to inhabit these roles and put on somebody else's shoes. It's the responsibility and the gift of what it is I get the opportunity to do.
Christian Slater
I don't like to be walking around in a vacuum, lost in my own thoughts. I'm much better with information.
Christian Slater
It's almost like these games are the modern day comic books, especially when you play Alone in the Dark. There's a real story that goes along with it and a movie seemed like the right kind of transition to make.
