I always used to develop a cold going into the studio.

We were too rough at the edges to be a pop group.

I think Pete did have a hard time as a kid with his appearance. But don’t all kids have a hard time? God, I had a hard time, too. I was little with bow legs and rickets. I used to get picked on like everybody used to get picked on.

I think if Keith Moon was here today and you asked him to recall most of his early life or most of his life, he wouldn’t be able to recall it.

I wanted to be in a band that shared ideas and were in it together.

I don’t want to stop and I don’t think Pete (Pete Townshend) does. We’re at the pinnacle of our decline.

In L.A., unless you’ve just won an Oscar or you’re Mr. Studio Head, no one talks to you. Even at parties.

Ask a boxer: In the third round, when he hit you from the side on your ear, how did that specifically feel? You wouldn’t ask a boxer that. Because you know they’re there to fight. Meaning now you know I’m here to fight. I’m here to fight for the re-education of what celebrity is.

When in trouble, take a bath and wash your hair.

When you are writing a script, you can’t help but stop and daydream about which actors are going to play the parts, and I kind of imagined Natalie Portman. Not just because she is beautiful, because obviously she is, but she is a wonderful actress who hasn’t had a chance in a long time to show the world how talented she is.

In most cases being a good boss means hiring talented people and then getting out of their way.

I think the world has too many actresses.

Time is the best teacher, but unfortunately, it kills all of its students.

The day of the Christmas Card shoot was wild! No one would get it together so we couldn’t get a full card!

I was bored one day so my Dad took me to this acting school. I liked it more than having fun – I liked it for a job.

The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone.

I used to be better looking than this.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and dogs are a man’s best friend. Now you know which sex has more sense.

Finding a good bus driver can be as important as finding a good musician.

I’ve always wanted to be a stand-up comic on some levels as well and I know I can play and sing but when people see me and say, “I didn’t know you were so funny… You’re like a real entertainer,” that’s what I like more than all the other accolades.

Led Zeppelin was a very sensitive and beautiful animal beast.
