I love Los Angeles, and it's been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who's living them? You don't play characters that are celebrities - you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank's blocked.

Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn't want anybody's name on my backside. I personally don't like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone's likeness all over it.

When you have good friends you've been around, every time they talk, you don't give them your full attention. You don't look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you're listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.

I think the discipline comes with turning that cellphone and Blackberry off and unplugging completely. You do that and you go through some withdrawals in the beginning. You start thinking, 'Oh, do I need to do this? Do I need to do that?' You forget that we were doing just fine with the payphone.

I don't dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it's gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin' White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It's connected to where you are today.

I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day's schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.

I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone's inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.

I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.

There's a gap between what I want to do, what I do on camera, and what gets edited. Right? So the goal is to try and close the gaps. What's the biggest compliment is if I read a review and it's exactly what I wrote down in my diary before ever filming it. That's really cool. That's the biggest signifier of closing the gaps.

Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.

Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It's also the dangerous part and it's an ugly emotion that hurts.

There's a difference in thinking you are a champion and knowing that you are.

There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.

Life is a series of commas, not periods.

I've never been a jealous person, and I've never felt built up by someone else's failure - that's a cheap thrill.

It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.'

I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process.

I've been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.

The best advice comes from people who don't give advice.

My rule is to break one sweat a day.

I say to the paparazzi, 'Fellas, take your shot and go.' It's just they usually find me on a beach.

You want to be a writer? Start writing. You want to be a filmmaker? Start shooting stuff on your phone right now.

We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.

I don't want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
