Even though I play guitar, I don't do it publicly.

I never liked the Oscars. They didn't do too much for me at all. I felt like a big, vulnerable hunk of baloney being used to sell some products.

Nobody likes to change. There will always be resistance to change, and there always will be change. And the quicker you get to that, the easier it is. It's not such a difficult thing. If you entrench yourself and go, By God, I will not change. I will not have this. Then, you're a dead man. We're great at adaptability. It's our strongest suit.

I have a lot of scars, man. My mother said that a man is not a man unless he has a scar on his face. And what she meant by a scar was some kind of battle that you had to go through, whether it was psychological or physical. To her, a scar was actually beautiful and not something that marred you.

I've made a lot of mistakes and I don't regret any of them. Sometimes that's the only way you learn.
