People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.

City people live the city. We live in L.A. New York we live in places where it's chaotic and you never know what's gonna happen. And that's the music - you never know what's gonna happen.

I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.

I'm a total protein shake junkie nerd. I get creative every morning - you never know what you're gonna get in my shake... fruit? Peanut butter? Ice-cream?

Homey don't quit. What else are you gonna do? It's like those guys in the cartoon they get up in the morning check the clock and fight all day and after it's over they check the clock and go home. That's how it goes.

I had this temp receptionist job in New York and I kind of hated it and in the morning I would come out of the subway and just walk along the New York streets with all these people around me and kind of sing to myself. Like 'She's gonna make it!'

Well the chairman of Federal Reserve just made his move to rescue Barack Obama. We're gonna have QE3. We're gonna print some more money.

I think if I could be any superhero it'd probably be my mom... but I don't think I'd look too good in high heels so it's not gonna happen.

My mom was a Democrat and I was scared to death that she was gonna blow it. First I was going to hell with Monroe and now to Republican hell with Nixon.

I showed my mom the movie then I told her the movie got bought and that it was gonna be shown in theatres and be on video. Everyone was really psyched about it. Everyone in my little town of hounds started to call me movie star.

My mom's gonna be the biggest star - mark my words right now!

I like to write and draw and paint and my mom's an artist so I think I get caught up in thinking 'I'm afraid it's gonna be bad ' and it's hard for me to start sometimes.

If I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like 'How do we get one of those?' and she was like 'You can't get a dolphin. What are you gonna do like put it in your pool?'

When Jesus comes back these crazy greedy capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.

I think there is a generation gap. I personally look forward to as our generation becomes the leaders you are gonna see a change and I think hopefully gay marriage will be a part of that country.

Marriage is gonna be your stability through everything.

I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you're trying to make money and then go to another meeting where you're giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability you know to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you're trying to do?

It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave.

I'm pretty focused on my career and if it comes down to hanging out with somebody or learning my lines it's gonna be learning my lines.

I am growing and learning. There's so much more that I want to accomplish and do. I'm gonna do it at whatever pace it happens. I'm not trying to rush anything or slow anything down.

If we don't empower ourselves with knowledge then we're gonna be led down a garden path.

But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.

The coolest thing and I have it at home is a huge Hulk Hogan normal-sized pinball machine. When people come over they play it for hours. When you hit the bumpers and the bells ring it goes 'Oh yeah!' The whole time you're playing this machine it's yelling and screaming at you 'What you gonna do brother?!' I think that's the coolest.

Every song I put on a record could be a single and I just pack my bags for it... and the minute it takes off I'm not gonna be home for a while.
