Work hard, don't quit, be appreciative, be thankful, be grateful, be respectful, also to never whine ever, never complain, and, always, for crying out loud, keep a sense of humor.

I played a lot of sports when I was a kid so I get in that ballgame mindset of being really, really respectful, but at same time saying to yourself, Don't back down a single inch, hang with these guys if you can. If they throw it high and tight you have to stand in there, you can't take yourself out of that moment.

There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.

Anesthesia is quite remarkable. Its lost time. And you wake up kind of refreshed.

Well, I think I'm not a non-believer, and I'm not a believer. But, on the other hand, I couldn't give you a good enough reason why EVP doesn't exist. I don't know enough about it, so how could I say it's not true. Plus, a person's reality is a person's reality so that's your belief system. It's all perception anyway, isn't it.

Unless you're flat out dead, you have to think of some other questions like: what's on the other side? It brings up issues of God, or no God. How does he play into this? Or he, or she, or it? How does it all play into this?

The thing about me not doing superhero movies, that's not true at all. Movies are movies. You just go.

From an art perspective, I dont know how you get better than Beetlejuice. In terms of originality and a look, its 100% unique.

Dying is a really hard way to learn about life.

Small movie, small role, giant movie, giant role. Work is work. You've got to tell the truth and show up.

It's great to be young and insane.

I'm a really sensitive person. I cry if I miss a cab. I've always worn my emotions on my sleeve. I think it makes life so much better when you can talk about anything.

You tell me another gang that's got a dental plan.

I'm willing to be representative. I'm just an actor. I'm just playing a role, so even if it is a person I do not like, I would do that.

Ahhh... It's good to be young and insane.
