Hollywood is just a bunch of people going around in Learjets to other people asking them if they've got any money? Well, they might have if they didn't spend it all on jets.

I think that taking night trains or meeting someone on the road is pretty romantic. I've done a couple of things like that. I've surprised someone in Paris. And hopefully, when you surprise someone, they're happy to see you.

People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.

I force people to have coffee with me, just because I don't trust that a friendship can be maintained without any other senses besides a computer or cellphone screen.

Hopefully as you get older you get more selfless. That would be probably a good goal. I don't know if we do, though.

All my romantic stories are a scrambled version of that first one.

Sometimes you meet people and you feel like you've known them for a long time.

If you help manufacture an enemy that's really evil, you can point to the fact that it's really evil, and say, Hey, it's really evil.

I was a teen star. That's disgusting enough.

It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.

I think that Poe is so resonant because he represents that part of us that is in misery or sorrowful or wants to explore the darkness. He wrote a great story called 'The Imp of the Perverse' about the instinct towards self-destruction. Poe is the godfather of Goth literature and that whole movement.

I've seen the people who talk about their love lives in print invariably have doomed relationships with the person they're talking about.

I love these movies where it's just about the film. You don't have my face on the poster. It's all about the movie. I like that.

Maybe the absence of signs is a sign.

I was never a joiner. I tried - I had people I admired and liked and wanted to hang with, but I ended up starting a theatre company and that took me back to Chicago... I guess I wasn't a scenester in the end. Something must have worked out right, as I'm still here - but I'm only a binge socialite.

My job is to just express something that I want to express. And if I'm ahead or behind the curve, that's for others to decide.

Being on a movie set is like one long financial crisis.

I don't agonize over decisions as much these days. The criteria of what's important to me is clear. The insecurity that you feel, and the paranoia that you feel, have been around for a long time - you know it's a liar because it's been lying to you all along - every time you start something new.

I'm not making any plans. I'm just going to let the universe surprise me.

I kept saying that I'd never live in L.A., and I didn't think I would. But that's where the work is, and I ended up making a lot of friends there, and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also, I think when you're famous, its hard to live in a small town.

It's something we, guys, have all done. Made tapes for girls, trying to impress them, to meet them on a shared plane of aesthetics. Read them someone else's poetry because they do poetry better than you could do it, because you're too awkward to do it.
