How do I feel about being a star now? Well I still try to live life and enjoy what I am doing.
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
Image
I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about.

Image
I was always such an incredible fan of John Woo, I just wanted to do this film with him.

I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.

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
Image
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.

I don't like to be walking around in a vacuum, lost in my own thoughts. I'm much better with information.

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.

Art does imitate life, it has to come from somewhere. To put boundaries and limitations on it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Christian Slater
Image
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.
Christian Slater
Image
If you can help guide somebody through a challenging moment because you've been there, that ends up becoming a great gift.
Christian Slater
Image
Jail was a result of me not taking time for myself. So I was forced to take some time for myself.
Christian Slater
Image
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
Image
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.

The extreme always seems to make an impression.

Image
I can promote until I am blue in the face, but ultimately nobody knows what makes a hit.

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.
