"I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that."

"I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act."

"I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy."

"I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me."

"I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records."

"I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old."

"The art of living is discovering that the true master is an eternal student."

"Lying just for the fun of it is either art or pathology."
