After I did Untamed Heart I wanted to do a film that was outrageous. I really wanted to do, you know, a performance. I don't want to allow my image to rule the choices that I make.

Art does imitate life, it has to come from somewhere. To put boundaries and limitations on it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

Good judgement comes from experience. Sometimes, experience comes from bad judgement.

Hopefully, that people could see a progression in my performances because that's how it's always felt to me.

How do I feel about being a star now? Well I still try to live life and enjoy what I am doing.

I can promote until I am blue in the face, but ultimately nobody knows what makes a hit.

I don't think of myself as offbeat and weird. As a kid, I saw myself as the type of guy who would run into a burning building to save the baby.

I had such a good time working with John Woo and John Travolta, and it was so professional. I want to work with people who are real professionals.

I have brought a PS2 on set with me before. But games can be really addicting, and that's dangerous. So I tend to keep it fairly limited on a certain level.
Christian Slater


I think games are starting to branch out. It's not just guys sitting at their computer stations. Games are so fun, that everybody gets into them a little bit.
Christian Slater

I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.
Christian Slater

I want to do films I can relate to emotionally.
Christian Slater

I was a shy, quiet kid. I was happiest playing by myself with my toys, rather than hanging around people.
Christian Slater

I was always such an incredible fan of John Woo, I just wanted to do this film with him.
Christian Slater

I'm blown away by the graphical detail of today's games. I can't imagine that it's going to get any better, but it's just going to continually progress and soon we'll be living in that world.
Christian Slater

I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about.
Christian Slater

I've been taking my time now between projects looking for stuff that has a little bit more substance, that isn't surface. Some of the films that I've done in the past really were surface.
Christian Slater

I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.

If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?
