QUOTES:
I’m in love with what I do but it’s not the only thing that fulfills me.
I think probably trying to please too many people. Sometimes I get so caught up in making other people happy that I just sort of forget about making myself happy and you obviously need to make yourself happy.
Everybody makes mistakes, including role models, so you should just learn and grow from it. Even the best role models do screw up and learn from their mistakes, and I think it is just completely unrealistic to say that role models are perfect. Personally, I think perfection is boring, and secondly, I just think that it’s okay to make mistakes.
As an only child, you either become a loner or you learn to put yourself out there, which my parents encouraged.
I worked at a local country club that I never belonged to. I did random tasks in the pro shop and supposed to be in charge of the register, but that didn’t go so well. They quickly realized I was better with people, not computers. I was the happiest in English class, and algebra was where I cried.
People ask me, “How’s Teen Wolf (2011)?” and I tell them it’s literally the best job I’ve ever had. It’s hard. Everybody wants to be a series regular. It’s something that a lot of actors would kill to have. That being said, it’s very demanding of you, in so many different ways.
I was a good student, but I was the biggest procrastinator.
I was the fastest typist in my school, and I had an obsession with spelling and memorizing.

QUOTES:
(2012, on success in Hollywood) Well, I spent many, many years unemployed. I was 20 when I moved to Los Angeles. I went on probably 600 commercial auditions and couldn’t book any of them. I went through the Groundlings. Everyone there had agents but me, and it was a ridiculously amazing group. I was there with Melissa McCarthy, who was nominated for an Oscar; Octavia Spencer, who won an Oscar; Tate Taylor, who directed The Help. Success is just a war of attrition. Sure, there’s an element of talent you should probably possess, but if you stick around long enough, eventually something is going to happen, you know?
(2012, on his wild party years) I just loved to get fucked up — drinking, cocaine, opiates, marijuana, diet pills, pain pills, everything. Mostly my love was Jack Daniel’s and cocaine. I was famous for going out on Thursday night to have a couple of beers, and that just led all the way to Saturday night. I would meet people here and there, and then I’d be in a hotel room with four strangers. Oh, they’re tapping out? Well, someone new showed up. Well, what’s your name? Yeah, I’d love to go dancing. I lived for going down the rabbit hole of meeting weird people. Of course, come Monday I would be tallying up all the different situations, and each one was progressively more dangerous. I got lucky in that I didn’t go to jail…My nose is completely sideways from a drunken altercation. I’m missing a knuckle because of a drunken altercation. Somehow I was usually able to get sober for work. I got sober for my first movie, Without a Paddle, but then I was fucked-up. I got sober for Idiocracy, but then I was fucked-up for three months. Then, right before I started Zathura, I knew I would get sober for that, so I went to Hawaii to relax, and that’s when things went from bad to worse. I ended up in a car accident with a local on the way to get coke, which didn’t stop us from going to get coke. Then it wasn’t coke, it was crystal meth, but I did it anyway.
(2012) It’s so weird when you turn 18 and are released into the world and then just start piling on terrible habits. From 18 to 29 I was a heavy smoker, heavy drinker, drug addict, terrible eater and philanderer. The past eight years, since I got sober, have honestly been about trying to peel back each of those habits, to get back to the 12-year-old kid inside who was tremendously excited about life.

QUOTES:
[on his final audition for Jerry Maguire (1996)] I came in there and did everything I had to do and the rest was history. So it was never like me sitting going, “Ah, there’s Tom!” [Tom Cruise] To me, it was like that son of a bitch was holding me back from doing what I had to do.
[on his most embarrassing moment] That Oscar win, when I jumped around that damned stage!
Steven Spielberg came to me and said, ‘I want you to be in Amistad (1997) and I said, ‘It’s a slave role; show me the money. I’m so a big thing,’ and he goes, ‘I can direct you.’ and I said, ‘No, I have to pass.’ To me, at the time, I remember this interview I read (with) Christopher Reeve talking about Superman. What other role could live up to being Superman; he was Superman. I bought into that. People were telling me (of Jerry Maguire (1996)), ‘You’re black, it’s a comedy role, you’re not gonna win this thing.’ So, when I won it, it was like I had all these things in my life – ‘This is what you are, this is what you’ve become… Now represent that. I have arrived and now I have to live up to this thing.’ (I didn’t know) the next day I should have rolled up my sleeves and said, ‘OK, now let’s continue on this journey.’ Creatively, I stopped myself.
