I was just a quiet kid, really. I wasn't the class clown at all.
Normally, I could hit hard enough, as anyone who studied my fights might have known. But the impression was that I was essentially defensive, the very reverse of a killer, the prize fighter who read books, even Shakespeare.
I don't' really have lots of hobbies. I like to read and hang out with my family. I'm a pretty boring person beyond that.
In life, I'm pretty low-key and quite non-descript.
Anyone who knows me will say I'm the most normal bloke you'll ever meet.
I've never been the sort of firebrand that I've been made out to be. I'm actually quite a mild person.
I look back and wonder why I wasted my time talking about fried potatoes with the great John Lennon. But that's what was so fabulous about him - he was very down to earth.
The men I find myself attracted to are the ones who don't say anything and are quite shy.
I was a regular dork. I was a kid who was scrawny and all that, and probably kind of dumb or something. I wasn't unordinary; I wasn't extraordinary.
I see myself as quite boring and simple.
My friends tell me I'm the most boring celebrity they know! A typical night for me is at home in California or watching movies in my pyjamas.
Many homicidal lunatics are very quiet, unassuming people. Delightful fellows.
I was sick of being articulate and loud and charming. I didn't want to play that guy anymore. I wanted to play the absolute opposite of that.
I think my fans would probably be surprised to know I'm not insane - I'm not a crazy person in real life. I'm a pretty low-key dude. I like chilling at home and playing with my dog.
