I guess the worst day I have had was when I had to stand up in rehab in front of my wife and daughter and say 'Hi, my name is Sam and I am an addict.'

I run into a lot of kids who are either on R&R, or on their way to Iraq. They all know who I am and are fans, but they're kids! I am yet to meet one that's over 23. Yet they're full-time warriors.

Painters get up and paint. Writers get up and write. I like to get up and act. It's not a big deal. It makes me happy.

I used to like watching Helen Mirren's early films, because she was always naked. It's titillating.

I love comic books and I love anime.

I don't run around shooting people. Much. I only shoot two people a year. Maybe.

I get paid all day, every day, which is almost too much for a sensitive artist.

Those that have loved longest love best.

Girl, don't make me put my foot in your ass.
