“You can't buy back your respect you can't buy back your career. You only get one, so I don't want to mess that up.”

Car“You can't buy back your respect you can't buy back your career. You only get one, so I don't want to mess that up.”
Respect“I'm not a strikingly handsome guy, but I'm in movies.”
Movies“My dad is a motorcycle guy, not some Hollywood dude.”
Dad“Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone.”
Movies“My mom is the backbone not just of my family but of many families.”
Family“I think, my generation, it's hard to have hope when you got a $700-trillion derivatives debt to pay and a bubble about to explode and $500 trillion worth of GDP.”
Hope“What's cool is when you're able to give your audience imagination and you don't have to cage them in like animals.”
Cool“I didn't know my dad for a long time. My dad was on drugs and my dad was at the VA Hospital, my dad was off in his own world selling drugs or using them or there would be crack heads in the house or whatever it would be.”
Dad“My family's lineage is five generations of artists who never made it.”
Family“I come from divorce. I'm only doing marriage once. It's not a game for me.”
Marriage“If you asked an 18-year-old what they want to do with their life, and the options are 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he's probably shipping out for 'Transformers.' If you ask a 26-year-old what he wants to do, 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he'd probably pick Lars von Trier. So, my sensibilities are changing as I change.”
Change“A relationship to me is never about the romance.”
Relationship“I like messing around, and I like working with artists who I respect.”
Respect“There's only so far you can take a relationship before you got to get into things that are too serious or over the top. I'm 20 years old. I was in a relationship with a girl I love for three years. Where do you go after three years? Then you've got to start thinking about other things, and I'm too young to think about those things.”
Relationship“I'm a video game fan, and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character.”
Cool“The comic book world is a tough business.”
Business“I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.”
Money“I've spent more on my Dodger tickets that I did on my car.”
Car“I enjoy what I'm able to give my family.”
Family“I was always raised on cowboy films, and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.”
