I think penguins are the most human of all the birds, which may be why people love them. They're cute, they stand upright and they look like they're wearing tuxedos.

My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer less fun and less money. It's ridiculous. In my parents' generation, rebellion was pop culture. It's not anymore.

There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist. You give Terrence Malick a movie like Transformers, and he's f***ed. There's no way for him to exist in that world... Lars Von Trier's dangerous. He scares me. And I'm only going to work now when I'm terrified.

I turned down a scholarship to Yale. The problem with college is that there's a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you'll never be successful.

I got to grow up in a situation where drugs were demonic. To watch your dad go through heroin withdrawal is something that would keep you from doing any of that yourself.

I'm a video game fan, and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

You can't buy back your respect you can't buy back your career. You only get one, so I don't want to mess that up.

And I'm not a personality otherwise I'd be coming out with an album, performing on MTV. All that stuff is possible and I can do that tomorrow. I just have no need.

I was doing stand up comedy when I was 11, that's how I got started not because I wanted to do comedy, but because we were broke, living in Echo Park in Downtown Los Angeles, from 1986, I saw the Rodney King riots my parents didn't really work. But I wanted a new backpack, that's how I got into this business - I wanted a new backpack.

I used to dirt bike a lot. I can't do that anymore. Can't eat a whole lot of chocolate anymore, either. I can't be in 'Indiana Jones' and be a fatso!
