“No one could have predicted the cultural phenomenon 'Twilight' has become.”

“I had known that I'd wanted to be an actor from a very early age, but I had always known that I wanted to have a dual career. I wanted to be an actor, and I also at that time wanted to be a rock star.”

“The end of times has always been a fascination. But post 9/11, pretty much everybody will admit to having it on their minds more frequently than when they were a kid.”

“I've been kicking around in this business for 20-something years now, and there's actually few times where you can look at the piece of work that's put out there, and you can actually be proud of it.”

“It's nice to be able to play a guy who gets to say all the things that you don't get to say in real life.”

“I can do without a television or a telephone, I think.”

“I'm a guy who likes to make it up as he goes along.”

“I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.”

“I will do anything, and I do almost everything myself. But when there is something extra heinous to do, I have a great stunt double, Eddie Davenport, and a great stunt coordinator, Jeff Wolfe.”
