"Growing up I was totally uncool. But I didn't care. In fact, I wanted to be on the outside. I dressed like a freak and was into punk rock. With every gesture, I advertised that I did not belong."
"I was a total outcast (in high school) and had NO interest in being popular. I ran with the group of punk rock punks. We did NOT want to be liked. We did not want to fit in. We had a rock and roll
band and the irony was that we became enormously popular because we just didn't care -- and we threw the most enormous parties in the town. And sought subtle revenge on all the big kids who abused us in junior high. We made sure they didn't get any when they came to our parties. Yes, we would crush their self-esteem. I don't like mean kids.""I had a brownish-red jacket with a hood. It made me look like Curious George, which earned me the nickname "Monkey."
"In the past, I've looked back on things I've done and thought, 'A smart man would have been afraid to try that.' I have an unhealthy lack of fear."
"I live in Santa Monica, California, in a 1930s Mediterranean-style apartment with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, lots of sunlight, which I have blacked out with black plastic for now in the bedroom, as I am a very late sleeper. I am a night owl."
"I'm two blocks from the beach. And there are about 20 cats, 12 of who belong to my landlord next door, and whom my cat Zachary enjoys beating up. He gave one cat a bloody mouth. This was the other week, and I'm very proud of him. This cat came from the Bronx. He was the one cat who refused to go back into the cage at the ASPCA. He drew my blood on the first
meeting, and I love him.""My cat died last year, and I haven't had the heart to replace him. He'd been with me since day one."
"I have had my rough years, I'm better now, but there were years when I spent a lot more time in emergency rooms and police stations than I do now."
"Um, well, I was up in Harlem trying to, um, complete a business transaction, and a guy pulled a knife on me, and I wasn't carrying anything, so he chased me out of the stairwell. As I came out of the stairwell, I saw a 2-by-4 on the ground, and I hit him full on the head when he came out the door.Actually, it's kind of a serious story, because I left him there, and I still, to this day, don't know how he did. It was in a very rough section of Upper Harlem, and I'm not sure if anybody would have helped him."
"They only thing that kept me out of trouble over the years is that, ultimately, I love acting more than any kind of self-destructive or mischievous behavior. I think acting has saved me from going too far."
"There's a line that goes down the side of a woman's neck that I just love. And I love the hair on the nape of the neck, where the tender part meets the very hard part of the skull."
"I was in England, a 75-year-old lady asked if she could grab my butt. I was mortified!"
"The English are randy! Oh my god. I had a 65-year-old woman say, 'Could you please turn around and bend over?' And I said, 'Why?' She said, 'I want to feel your butt.' So I let her. She was 65 years old. I felt like a Puritan, really"
"Oh, aaargh! What I have to say is, if you ever meet a dyed-blond, man or woman, they've got courage, I'll say that. Because they have to do it every 10 days. And, you know, the scalp would just peel right off after a while.The
first couple of years were really hard on his head.""My scalp would start to bleed. I'd be walking around after the dye job and a little puss-pocket would break and start dribbling down my forehead. It's like - oh my gosh! And then your scalp starts to fall off. I mean, it peels. Big, thick
clumps"."Every two weeks! Can you believe? It hurts, but my hair doesn't seem to care. It's fine, it doesn't seem to notice. But it's a pain in the butt, but put 4 to 7 packets of Sweet 'n Low, and it will save you the worst of the blisters."
"Whatever we think is going to knock out the curl in my hair, which tends to look like Shirley Temple.""Yes, I've been hurt, and it was my own damn fault, too. Once I lit my hand on fire. But I let the burn go on way too long because I thought it would look cool. It was bubbled up all over, and
it took about three months to heal. But no one on the set knew about it because it was my last day and I was too embarrassed to say anything.""I'm in complete denial. I'm just not admitting that it's happening." (about Buffy's going to end)
"Frying the kid. That was fun. They let me burn a 12-year-old to a crisp. That was the second day of my job -it was the moment I knew it was going to be an interesting job." (about his greatest moment on Buffy)
