I don't think anyone has a normal family.
Edward Furlong
I know a lot of people my age are still trying to figure out what to do, and I consider myself lucky that I can make a living doing something that I truly enjoy.
But I'm not like sad, depressed miserable person. I guess sometimes I give off that impression.
I look up to actors. I look up to Robert DeNiro, I look up to Johnny Depp, I look up to Al Pacino, I look up to run-of-the-mill really good actors. I love watching movies, and I love watching other actors and learning from them.
By the time I'm old, I'm sure I'll have lived a full enough life. I think we're mortal for a reason. Life gets tiring, man!
I'm so embarrassed by that album. I don't even own it myself.
It hasn't been a totally smooth road, but in the whole span of things I feel like a very lucky person.
I'd be a liar if I said I had a normal family.
People aren't born racist.
I never thought I'd reach 21. I used to feel that was old, but growing old doesn't scare me anymore. I just want to have done something super special and have had someone to do it with.
I enjoy playing people that are totally different than me.
Jim Cameron used to call me 'Special Ed.'
I have a little brother. He's actually living at my house right now. He's going to be 18.
I was scared I was going to have some weird shape to my head and I was pleased that I didn't.
If I was in a room with a bunch of skinheads talking about racism, then I would be disturbed, but after we finished a take, we were normal people again.
I've always wanted to do a movie that takes place in the 70's and was about rock and roll and getting high, like Dazed and Confused or Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
The first willing concert I went to was Aerosmith when I was like 14.
Little Odessa. Of all my movies, it's the one that I still really love when I watch it and I'm pretty happy with what I didn in that.
It's really hard to find good movies, and that's pretty much what I try to find, good movies.
But i think it would drive me more crazy to just go do a movie that I didn't believe in, you know?
I had a hard time going back to school after T2. I really didn't want to go to private school.
Who wants to go to school and be asked for, like, 20 autographs?
A lot of people my age are so hyper. I like hyper people.
Detroit was kind of a random thing where it was like a chance to be in a rock 'n' roll movie.
When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.
I've always liked women. But I don't want somebody who likes me because I'm famous. I like girls who are intelligent and who are kind of quiet like me.
I am very, very competitive and ambitious. I would definitely fight hard for a role I believed in.
