Quotes

[About working on the film The Girl Next Door (2004) . ] When I got,a lap dance, because I was 17, they had to put a massive pillow between,me and the girl when she was grinding me. It was weird, yet,pleasurable.

James Dean taught me not to speed, River Phoenix taught me not to DO,speed, and Marlon Brando taught me to slow down on the cheeseburgers.

The willingness to keep learning is, I think, the most important thing about trying to be good at anything. You never want to stop learning.

Maybe you will be afraid and maybe you will fail, but the courage to take risks in any part of your life is, I feel, a very worthwhile way to live.
