"I've always been spontaneous and outgoing. I've tried lots of things so I've got some good life experiences, which is great 'cause it means I've got lots of material to work with as an actor."

"Everybody has a choice and I choose not to do drugs."

"I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances."

"What I really wanted was to travel and see all the different animals that were on the verge of extinction."

"I like my name, even though in school, they used to call me Leonardo Retardo."

"I really think I'm pretty well balanced being in the position I'm in."

"I hate my body."

"I have the same problem as Edward Furlong. I'm so thin!"

"I'm shy, but when the time comes to be wild, I'm fun-loving, adventurous, and mysterious."

"I'm not really the quiet type, although some people think I am. But I'm the rebel type in the sense that I don't think I'm like everyone else. I try to be an individual."

"I'm not the sort of person who tries to be cool or trendy. I'm definitely an individual."

"I'm the cheapest bastard in the world."

"If my fans really knew me, they wouldn't be impressed."

"I'm absolutely clean. I've never tried anything. That's not a lie!"

"I like to meet different people with different experiences."

"I hate talk shows, and you know what? I'm never going to do one again."

"One of my passions is to meet people and then imitate them. I love doing that."

"Sometimes I like to go on [the Internet] just to see what people are saying about me. I get a kick out of that."

"I can act, and I think I'm pretty good at it. And I play pool pretty well. But that's about it."

"I'm just starting to scratch the surface of what makes me happy, and it has taken me a while to admit that acting like a child and a jerk is fun."

"I always feel like I'm on a roller-coaster, but I never want to get off! There's a certain high you're always on."

"I like to help the whales, the otters, and the dolphins. When I'm acting and I take a break, the first thing on my list is spending time by the sea."

"I like to do things that scare me. I went bungee jumping, but skydiving is the sickest thing. The whole trip down, I didn't cry. I was just depressed."

"I absolutely refuse to miss a Lakers game. They're great ball players and fascinating to watch."

"I hate speaking in front of a large audience. I don't know where it came from . . . but it's just this gut-wrenching fear of doing something horrible."

"Dark green is my favorite color. It's the color of nature and the color of money and the color of moss!"

"I hate baths. I can't stand being submerged in water."

"I've been wearing this [headband] since I was 18. It's the most masculine one I could find, the most discreet."

"Death freaks me out. I don't know about an afterlife. I'm not religious, you know. I'm not an atheist, but I've never had a religion."

"Basically I only want to trust my instincts with everything I choose. I want to go with things that have integrity and that I feel I'm doing for me."

"I don't have emotions about a lot of things. I rarely get angry, I rarely cry. I guess I do get excited a lot, but I don't get sad and enormously happy. I think a lot of people who talk about all that crap are lying. Right now I'm just trying to maintain happiness - that's all I really care about. Anyway, when you're my age and your hormones are kicking in, there's not much besides sex that's on your mind."
