If I can generate enough income, I'd like to get a castle, a historic castle that I can restore.

I've got a lot of crazy plans.

I was getting a lot of hassles from the public. Everybody recognized me.

I think it's great when girls are artistic.

I don't know if there aren't any films like 'E.T.' anymore. I just feel that the industry has changed so much. There are so many outlets now...Show more »

I can't stay in L.A. too long or it starts to grow on me in a bad way.

Even if I had a tuxedo I wouldn't wear it to school.

Carloads of tourists would photograph the family mailbox, and there was weird mail, death threats.

I have horses, I drive a truck, and I wear cowboy boots. First I'm a Texan.

I probably complicate things unnecessarily now just to give the illusion of professionalism.

It was like that for the first six months after 'E.T.' was in cinemas. I'd go out and get mobbed. I was a shy kid, and being approached by adults all the time just freaked me out. Show less «

I would inevitably get the girls who were interested in me because I was the guy from E.T. It was kind of tough. I can't deny ever capitalizing upon it but on the whole in my teens I was pretty virtuous. Show less «

I understood why films were made, and if they made a lot of money, they were successful. All of these things I knew. As a ten-year-old boy, I didn't really think a lot about finances or celebrity. I always viewed films as kind of what I imagined a summer camp to be like. Show less «

I don't know if I was so much of an outsider until after I started doing films. That put me on the outside. I grew up in Texas, and I wasn't the child of industry parents, and I didn't have a lot of friends in the industry or anything like that. Show less «

The one thing I've always done is to try not to over complicate anything.

The idea of a film staying in theaters for a year is something of a fantasy today.

It's really important to go back to where you come from.

It's harder to laugh than to cry.
