#Quote
1[When asked about bull riding] I like to stay as far away as possible!
2I'm an info junkie and watch CNN a lot. Also Nick at Nite - mostly "The Honeymooners".
3I've been to Graceland twice - Priscilla and Sam Phillips gave me a personal tour.
4I save a lot of things, but I weed through them from time to time. I like to think of myself as an orderly pack-rat.
5[on his injuries while filming Panic Room (2002)] I got a little bashed up, but thanks to David [Fincher] it was well worth it. I burst a bursa sac on my elbow and cracked ribs and (suffered) hyper-extended thumbs.
