- I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.
- There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.
- Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.
- (On how he got started in acting) "I was about 21 when I started. I dropped out of law school to go to film school -- the idea of practicing law for my whole life seemed a little boring. I was doing more directing stuff to start with, until a student mate asked me to be in his film Dazed and Confused. A professional guy named Don Phillips spotted me and the rest is history."
- No computer, no gadget, no trickery. I am an animal, it is a plant. I will beat the weed!
- There are certain nights you and your image just aren't in the same bed.
- She's a cool ghost. Maybe me being nude all the time is why we get along.
- Life is a series of commas, not periods.
- (On Hollywood) "I love it. It's silly to say that it is a world of false and stupid people. Sure there are witches and swindlers, but you can meet there many creative, talented and generous persons too. Hollywood is a pleasant place, when you are hip to the game and you enjoy it for what it is really."

- Traveling is a great love of mine. I love South America and Africa. I'm your ultimate backpacker when I'm away. It's just me and my backpack. It's good for getting away from the industry.
- (On himself) "My best quality is that I'm a big hearted person. I'm resilient, too. My worst quality is selfishness, although everyone is guilty of that to an extent. Everyone should be, I think -- you need to respect yourself."
- "Be the lean horse for the long ride. I figure I am in the third round of a 15 round fight." (on career philosophy)
