There was a combination of not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but also really not wanting to be stuck in Lord of the Rings for the rest of my life, and being desperate to kind of make sure that I could do something else with my life.
'Lord of the Rings' was 2001, 2002, and 2003, but Twitter didn't start until 2007!
Everyone on 'The Goonies' and everyone on 'Lord Of The Rings' knew that we were a part of something that was going to be big.
I don't want to use the word 'instinct,' but when something good happens - something big or good in my life - I have this sensation that it was inevitable. Anything careerwise, 'Lord of the Rings,' 'Rudy,' or getting married. Which is weird, because you don't ever want to be ungrateful for what you have.
The filmmakers who I'm pining to work for aren't ringing my phone off the hook.
If you're not the guy who is going to puff your chest out like a rooster and go fight somebody, our society discards you.
I absolutely do not think that I have even a vague recollection of what normal life is like.
I don't like scary movies.
I think that I have a seriousness of purpose, a lot of support, and a healthy amount of good fortune.
The sidekick business has been good to me.
I'm much more prone to feeling down a lot. I just feel sluggish and unmotivated.
A perfect run has nothing to do with distance. It's when your stride feels comfortable.
I think I've begun to take for granted how easily information can swirl around me.
