- "I don't think Requiem for a Dream (2000) is for children, but I think if you went home and looked at the video games that your kids are playing, you'd be much more shocked." - Mr. Showbiz, November 2000.
- "I used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house."
- "I take computers practically apart and put them back together. I have a supercomputer I built over the years out of different computers."
- "All those reports that I sleep in my closet. I don't know how people get that. People are so obsessed with what you do at home."
- "I could care less about anybody knowing who I am, but I realize this is part of the game. Maybe if I really hated this whole public thing, I would go do plays in Hoboken."
- "I was never interested in 'Teen Beat' like roles. I just wanted to work."
- "I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater. Just having the art-communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn't a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn't try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth."
- "Teens are always shown as one dimensional. They're stereotyped. When I was in high school, I cared about more than getting a date or making the team."
- "I never look at myself as a closet actor wanting to make music or a closet musician wanting to act -- I'm very proud to do both and I don't put one above the other, I'm very grateful and excited by both opportunities -- it's really a unique opportunity to do both."
