I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.
I don't spend most of my life in front of the media.
I still think that movies are amazing; I respect actors and directors.
Animal rights is a part of my everyday life. When you live by example, you create a certain level of awareness. Friends of mine - people I have never discussed animal rights or vegetarianism with - are adopting vegetarian habits because they see it.
I'm proud of my brother. I would never not want to be associated with him.
I do like to collaborate, and I like hearing other people, and I like how somebody's performance will affect my own.
I like being an employee. I like making somebody happy - and if they're not, then I'm crushed.
I guess I had what you could call an unconventional upbringing.
I've been in clubs. I don't like being in an enclosed place with really loud music, and a lot of drunk people. It's not my idea of a good time. It's just such a miserable life.
I don't have the slightest desire to speak over my dead brother. It gets on my nerves to always be compared with him. My brother was a magnificent person and an outstanding actor.
I was 3-years-old - to this day it is a vivid memory. My family and I were on a boat, catching fish. As one fish was caught, he was writhing, then he was thrown against the side of the boat. You couldn't disguise what it was. This was what we did to animals to eat them. The animal went from a living, vibrant creature fighting for life to a violent death. I recognized it, as did my brothers and sisters.
I'm going to sound a little weird here, but I like to spend a lot of time on my own in the woods. I don't exactly sneak off in the middle of the night, but I like to be in a place where no one can reach me by phone or e-mail.
I enjoy writing rhymes and sitting alone in a room listening to beats. It's pretty amazing.
I enjoy humour more than anything, I don't really sit around banging my head and crying all the time.
Every single movie that I've ever done has affected my life; I always feel more changed by a character than I affect them or change them, always. I mean, that's just kind of the way it is.
How can you work in film and still see the overt racism that exists in film and not just be furious all the time?
I wish I had fair justification for not being as informed as I should be, but I don't.
Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment, it's all excellent, it's all noble.
In every film, whether it's a fictional character or not, you create an idea of the character and for me I always do a bad impersonation to start with.
I've made up so many stores about my name, I can't remember.
For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.
I don't bring my life into a character at all.
I think the day that I become comfortable doing interviews and going on talk shows is the day that I don't know what it is to be a human being anymore.
The offers were, like, a lot of money - maybe not for other actors, but definitely for me. But I don't want that power. I don't want $20-million power.
When I look back I can't believe how my parents managed, but the cliche is true. We didn't have money, but we were rich in so many other ways.
