I think about it a lot. But I also think about my cars, so maybe my priorities aren`t exactly in line just yet." "I`m a dreamer. I`ve got this whole thing where I think I`m supposed to be a musician. I live by the seat of my pants, but I`d like to think that I`m also pretty sensible." "I`m much more likely to give myself a kick in the butt than a pat on the back." "Life`s too short. And the biggest curse is falling in love with somebody." "I`m into being a dad, that`s where my focus is most of the time. I`m an actor that`s my job, but it`s not my life. I have a lot of other interests too." "Some people say that you should go to all the parties, to the nightclubs, the Viper Room, and make contacts, and I look at them and say, `You don`t want to have contacts with those people.` Look at what happened to River Phoenix (who died in 1993 of a drug overdose outside the Viper Room). If you get caught up in that, it ruins you. Hollywood is garbage." "Surfing soothes me, it`s always been a kind of zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I`m on a wave." "You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae." - in Flaunt Magazine, July 2001Trivia Audtioned for the role of Anakin Skywalker but was too old for the part.
