A lot of these movies, they're really enjoyable to see. Really, it's like smoking crack or something: you walk out, and you feel diminished by it. It's eye candy, just violence and sex. Definitely lots of sex, people making out or showing their tits, which is always fun, but it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. I tried it, I tried doing this Angelina Jolie movie Taking Lives, a popcorn movie, the first movie I did that's about nothing. And I didn't like it, because I do ultimately feel there's enough crap like this. It's so much more fun and harder and more challenging to try to make something that's entertaining but isn't wasting your time.

The kindest compliments I have ever heard are when cops tell me Training Day and Assault on Precinct 13 inspired them to become cops. The funniest compliments I have ever heard are when people tell me that 'I love your band Sugar Ray.'

To be married to another famous person was a huge pressure, one I didn't enjoy. And it had nothing to do with her. She's my children's mother. You have to keep that in mind above anything else.

I'd like to be a professional athlete. And I wish I were more active, to be honest. I admire people that really act on what they believe in. I admire the courage of conviction. That's what I admire in athletes sometimes: the dedication.

I grew up in a household where there was such anger and resentment towards anyone who had any money, that I never really had any desire to make any money. And I had the idea that a real artist wouldn't have any money. That's been problematic.

My mom used to always tell me that you judge other people by how they seem, and you judge yourself by how you really feel because you know what you are. That's why everybody feels so inferior all the time. I think it's all part of the fame game that people play. You read the tabloid magazines and it just seems like it's another world, full of exciting people who aren't like the boring schmuck you work next to. The irony is that a lot of what I do is really boring, even though some great things happen.

In all of our society, but especially in Hollywood, there is an obsession with perfection that can lead to self-loathing and neurosis and all that kind of stuff.

When you start becoming really successful, the demons start to tempt you, the demons of vanity and self importance, drug abuse, the feelings of fraudulence. But, it's also a thrill. That's what I found weird. I remember, after I did Dead Poets Society, I went to the Cannes Film Festival. I had my stars in my eyes. I loved getting my picture taken. That's the funny thing, it's a push and pull.
