I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure and then if it turns up roses then I'm psyched.

I thought I was gonna be an attorney so I went to Dartmouth and I was a government major and I minored in environmental policy and I didn't do anything academically around the arts.

I thought you know the food and the diet thing is one way to start yourself onto a healthy lifestyle but if you don't move if you don't start exercising you're gonna deteriorate.

I decided to go to school for advertising and graphic design. That was what I was gonna do but acting is that thing it's like a splinter in your mind and you can't get rid of it. So I decided to move to L.A. a few years ago and it just snowballed into this thing called 'The Hunger Games.'

I was into the Mets because my Dad worked at IBM where he got free Mets tickets so I was into the Mets... then I got to 'Saturday Night Live' where my boss has unbelievable N.Y. Yankees tickets so he invites us to the games. I'm going to all the games so I might as well root for the team I'm gonna go sit with.

A father and two sons run Adelphia. It's a cable company. And they took from that company a billion dollars. A billion. Three people - three people took a billion dollars. What were they gonna do start their own space program? 'Let's send the monkey to Mars Dad!'

People always used to say to me 'Don't you want your own show? That'd be so cool if you had your own show.' I said 'You know it's not gonna happen. So - no.'

I'm not that into reading. If I'm gonna read I'm gonna read some cool sci-fi book or something not some stupid self-help book.

I never set out to become 'famous.' I mean when you're 14 you think 'I'm gonna become a writer and people will want my autograph and that'll be cool ' but you grow up and you learn that's just not how the world works. I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably never be published and if I did it probably wouldn't be a big deal.

We're gonna try and bring on all the different aspects of horror movie making and bring on guests and show all these old '50's B movies. Not the real corny ones the real cool ones.

But this is Miami you can't come to Miami and not show any skin. You gotta show something. If you're all covered up in this heat you're gonna make me pass out out just to look at you. It's sweaty in Miami-but the diamonds will keep me cool.

That's the hardest thing about being a mom. You want to be cool and you want them to like you all the time but you can't always have that. You're gonna have times where you have to say no and you won't be the most popular person in the house.

No matter how good you are at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.

If I wasn't even famous or had any success I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween too.

I'm a role model now. I didn't know I was gonna have 13-year-old fans so I've tried to change a few things here and there. But I also know that the girls don't want me to be Miley Cyrus either.

Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead you're really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour.

Making money is not gonna change anything about what I am except I won't answer the door.

Those people in New York are not gonna change me none.

I'm gonna be the best dad that ever lived. I'll have a ranch with a race car track and a golf course.

I'm not gonna ride home in the car. I'll wait for Randy. I think I'll get home quicker.

I drank a lot when I was a teenager and I don't drink any more because that's when I thought you know I'm gonna end up a car wreck.

Sometimes I wish I could drive a car but I'm gonna drive a car one day so I don't worry about that.

They think they can make fuel from horse manure - now I don't know if your car will be able to get 30 miles to the gallon but it's sure gonna put a stop to siphoning.

I'm gonna be making records anyway even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
