I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.
It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
Now having said that, I realize that releasing a film in the real world is like trying to get General Motors to release a handmade car.
I hate fishing, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to hike when you can get in the car and drive.
'Cars' is a really personal story for me because, first of all, I grew up in Los Angeles - the car crazy capital.
The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.
The first thing I ever rode when I was a kid was a motorcycle, so I knew how to drive a motorcycle before a car.
I will stay in the car until the last minute that I'm going to jump out and do a standup or jump out and do some interviews.
But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I've been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun.
I was raised in Chicago and I guess that was one of the special breeding grounds for gangsters of all colors. That was the Detroit of the gangster world. The car industry was thugs.
I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card, but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.
The easiest and simplest thing that any one can do to make their car safer, more gas efficient, whatever - check the tire pressure.
I cleanse, tone and moisturize twice a day. I exfoliate once a week and carry makeup wipes in the car for freshening up.
I play Hopkins' daughter. Brad Pitt plays Death. He's a very-good looking Death. With him, dying isn't so bad.
One lady wrote me and told me how she wants to see me get beat up and near death and that kind of stuff.
I think I might actually die of showing off. It'll be on my headstone - 'Cause of Death: Showing Off.'
The cult of the individual is killing us. I think Twitter signals the death of western civilisation, but people have been saying that since Demosthenes.
There's stuff I don't like to rehearse, really emotional things, I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.
Sometimes I wish my first word was 'quote,' so that on my death bed, my last words could be 'end quote.'
I mean, we've all had those dreams where, you know, we try to cry out and our voice won't come.
Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.
