Quotes
Being married means I can break wind and eat
ice cream in bed.
By the time this concert
ends this evening, 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme
poverty. By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000. This does not
make sense.
Fame
is a bitch, man.
Heartthrobs
are a dime a dozen.
I
believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all
perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to
accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me.
I
have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right, what's
more important to me is being honest about who you are. Morals I get a
little hung up on.
I
know when I go outside, there'll be a van or two and they'll probably
follow us four out of seven days a week, trying to get something. But
I'm just going across town and I know they're just wasting their day, so
it doesn't bother me anymore.
I'd
like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something
hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious
right.
I'm
gonna design my own fleet of trailers. No! I'm gonna record an album
like Jennifer
Lopez. It'll be an acoustic version of K.C. and the Sunshine Band.
Then maybe I'll design a line of clothes like Puff Daddy, but all in
synthetic fur.
I'm
one of those people you hate because of genetics. It is the truth.
Let
us be the ones who say we do not accept that a child dies every three
seconds simply because he does not have the drugs you and I have. Let us
be the ones to say we are not satisfied that your place of birth
determines your right to life. Let us be outraged, let us be loud, let
us be bold.
Success
is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You
get away with more instead of looking within.
You
shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I
get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China
should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? They hand
me a script. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.

You know, I telephoned my grandparents the
other day, and my grandfather said to me, 'We saw your movie.' 'Which
one?' I said, and he shouted, 'Betty, what was the name of that movie I
didn't like?' I thought that was just classic. I mean, if that doesn't
keep your feet on the ground, what would?

Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what
I think China should do? I'm a f---ing actor! They hand me a script. I
act. I'm here for entertainment, basically, when you whittle everything
away. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.
When you see a person, do you just
concentrate on their looks? It's just a first impression. Then there's
someone who doesn't catch your eye immediately, but you talk to them and
they become the most beautiful thing in the world. The greatest actors
aren't what you would call beautiful sex symbols. I'll tell you who my
favorite actress is, Dianne Wiest, and you wouldn't call her a sex
symbol. Dianne Wiest is, to me, the most beautiful woman on the
screen"\.
I'm a method actor. - When asked by Conan
O'Brien how he got into character as stoner JD in his movie True Romance
.
[In May, 2005, on his impending divorce to Jennifer
Aniston] The thing I don't understand is looking at this as a
failure. It's talked about like it failed, I guess because it wasn't
flawless. Me, I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful,
actually.
