"When I was young, I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything. I used to think, 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'"

"My memory of my childhood is one of the good memories."

"I want a long career, and a long happy life."

"I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood [in Hollywood]-that was the tough part of my life. I just had to stay tough myself and develop a plan for doing something better with my life than what the kids were doing around me. I didn't want to waste my life."

"There were sex shops and motels nearby. It was a rough neighborhood but a cool one to grow up in. I saw real life from a very early age. I think that has helped me as an actor."

"What I would do in order to be popular was, I'd put myself on line and joke around and be funny, and I was always known as the crazy kid."

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

"I was the nuttiest little kid. I'd smack the camera and jump around. They couldn't control me."

"I cheated a lot, because I just couldn't sit and do homework. I usually sat next to someone extremely smart."

"It's true that having fun is a huge priority for me, whatever gets said about it."

"I used to think I was in complete control of my life, but there have been incidents recently that clearly demonstrate that's not always true."

"The main thing for me is to live life with my family and friends. They treat me like Leo, not like 'Leonardo, Master Thespian.' That's all I need to keep my sanity."

"I plan on being around for a while."

"I hope to have a long career and keep doing and trying new things."
