Clowns scare me. I have this fear of clowns, so I think that if I surround myself with them, it will ward off all evil.

Regarding his teeth...I'm proud of these. When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me up the wall.

If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them.

With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.
***
...What I like does tend to be left-field. I feel somehow much more comfortable playing it. I relate more easily than I do when I run across straight roles. I hate the obvious stuff, I just don't respond to it.
***
To say I opened a night club to allow people to do drugs, even in the bathroom - do people think I'm insane? Do they think I'm going to throw everything away - even my own children's future, so people could get high in a nightclub? It's ridiculous.
***
I guess I'm attracted to these off beat roles because my life has been a bit abnormal. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.
***
This is a rumor-filled society and if people want to sit around and talk about whom I've dated, then I'd say they have a lot of spare time and should consider other topics...or masturbation.
***
I'm 30 different people sometimes. One day you wake up and you're somebody else, nowhere near who you were when you went to sleep. Unfortunately, I feel more comfortable in front of the movie camera than I do in real life.

My body is a journal in a way, where every tattoo means something, a specific time in your life where you make a mark on yourself.
***
"The only gossip I'm interested in is things from the Weekly World News - 'Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured'. That kind of thing."
***
"Anything I've done up till May 27, 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave
me life."
***
I'm sounding like John Denver or something, but I look forward to having a kind of peace of mind. I know that we all get there eventually.
***
Nah (about quiting smoking). I think if you find something your good at you sould stick with it. I have switched to lights though. It got to where I would weeze going up a flight of stairs, so I went to diet cigarettes.

Fame, celebrity--it's not such a big deal in Europe. People seem to understand that you just have a weird job. They're not running after you, trying to carve chunks out of you. It's strange in the states. Most fans here are great, but there's a handful who have seen the movies and feel they know you. They think it's alright to touch you and ask personal questions.
***
If there's anything I really want, it's privacy. It's the island idea.
***
I read that I was in bed with her, which is a ton of shit. I have met her and it went like this: 'How do you do?' 'Hello, how are you?' Now when anyone asks about my affair with Madonna I say no, wrong - it was the Pope. He swept me off my feet.
***
It would be interesting to think that we're sitting here in the flesh when in fact we're surrounded by many, many spirits just whirling and whizzing in and out and in-between us. It's an interesting idea. I've always thought that, in fact someone, somewhere must have been steering my boat that I'm on...

My sister Christi had a baby when I was 17, and I had just heard about crib death. The horrible thing was that it wasn't understood. For some unknown reason the baby would stop breathing. So I would sneak into where the baby was sleeping and put my hand in her crib, hold her little finger, and I'd sleep on the floor like that. It was stupid, I'm sure. But I thought the warmth of my hand might help, that maybe if she felt my pulse it would remind her to breathe.
***
I never had the brightest view of human nature. I think humanity - society, at least --is violent. It's not getting any better. I don't think I'm cynical, but I do think maybe the world is more... sinful than ever before.
***
There's an English show I love called Whose Line Is It Anyway? It's all improvisation. Brilliant, quick, clever comics--spontaneity with both barrels. I wish I could do that show.
***
I have a funny relationship with my body...Ah, it sounds so stupid, but for me there shouldn't be any half way.
I stole a chord book. I'm admitting it now for the first time. I actually....yeah, I stole a chord book. Melbay chord book from a department store. It helped alot to....y'know, at that age 12 13 14 years old, y'know, things are going haywire inside, so....yeah, the guitar sort of saved me
