Quote

I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because you're an actor you want to write a book to exploit your celebrity, but my celebrity is only a byproduct of me making movies. I have no intention of being a celebrity.

It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do.

Not that I'm great or good at it or anything, it's just that I've done a bunch of them, so you're not shocked.
