ASHTON QUOTES

●"I knew who Demi Moore was, but I didn't recognize the woman I was looking at as Demi Moore. I have to tell you, my celebrity cue is really shitty. Owen Wilson was there too that night. I recognized him. I was like, that's Owen Wilson. Look how cool his hair is."

●"The joy I've found working on a thriving company and working on a thriving family have been so exponentially greater than the instant shock you get from that stuff. Family life, marriage, work-it's good, man."

●"I would be a lot happier sometimes if people cared a little bit more about other people and their privacy. But I was on vacation once, and there was somebody there who took all these pictures, and my vacation photos got shared with the world. But I didn't have a camera, and I wasn't taking pictures of my vacation. so all of a sudden, I go, well, there's me surfing. Fuck that's cool. First time I ever surfed."

●"People can never get me because I'm always getting myself. Every fucking day, I punk myself. I never punked anybody - they punked themselves. Eventually, at some point in our lives, we want to get to where bad things don't bother us."

●"If I had a kid for every time they said we were having one, we'd have 20 by now"

●"I don't necessarily think all the critics are wrong. They're watching the same movie I'm making. I don't think I'm that good. And they don't think I'm that good. So I'm not pulling that feeling out of my ass. They're just backing up that feeling that I already have about myself."

●"If my wife has a problem, my whole body has a reaction of only wanting her to not have that discomfort. We are truly connected... I do believe that we are soul mates and that we split from one soul at one point in time."

●"I don't do what I do for money, and I don't do it for free stuff. I do it because it makes me feel good to know that maybe some guy who's working that job he fuckin' hates can go home at night and flip on the tube and see something that makes him laugh."

●"I like being nude as often I can. (jokes) As much as I can be nude I try to be nude. No. It's really not that great for me. For other people, I like them being nude, but not me so much. It's this awkward thing and you're completely exposed. I had this banana thong with like a catcher's mitt to wear. It was a little awkward."

●"I can't take an outside perspective of my career or my life because I just live it. I have no idea. Someone will find some other category to try to put me in. 'Well, it's still comedy and so it's not a different character. He's still just being funny.' People always want to shuffle you into some category no matter what you're doing."

●"I'm not going to stop [doing the show] because there's some myth in Hollywood that if you're on a TV show you can't do movies. I get extremely bored extremely quickly. I have a little bit of life ADD, in a way. I'm like Forrest Gump; I don't want to do just one thing."

●"I saw Kirk Cameron on TV when I was a kid, and I was like, Man, I want to be like Kirk Cameron. I want to be on a TV show. That was my thing. "

●"If you could lose your house and your money and everything there is, what are you left with? Yourself. And the people who love you. It sounds corny, but there is that lesson."

●"If I ask John Doe who works in a factory in Michigan, 'Hey, do you want to come down to the Levi's store and pick out twenty pairs of free jeans?' John Doe would be running to Levi's. So I don't think that's any different from real people. Look, I get free stuff that I just go, you gotta be kidding me"

●"You can spend a million dollars and get three ads in a magazine, or you can give me a $50,000 car, have me photographed driving it, and it's subliminal advertising just like that. But sooner or later they're not going to want to take pictures of me, and then I'm not going to get the cars, the water, the free soda, the free shoes. I realize that. I get it. As soon as you start to get ahead, people want to root against you. I'm that guy."

●"I get why people want to take me down: It's that simple thing-Why does he get that? I totally, totally get it."

●"Sit back and imagine the last argument you had with your wife or girlfriend. And imagine your best friends, your boss, your brother, your sister, your mother, your dad, everybody you know - and everybody you don't - now know every single detail of your last fight. Invite the world to your daughter's birthday party, Invite the world to your grandma's funeral. Invite the world to your wedding. Just imagine how fuckin' shitty that is"

●"The second you get comfortable and think that your relationship is good enough - that's when you're done, man. If you're not working on making your relationship better, it's not going to last! I try to impress my wife everyday. You've got to keep coming up with new stuff"

●"I remember being in previous relationships and wanting to have sex. and I'd kind of give a hint, and then get upset that they didn't get it. [now] If I desire something, I give it. If you want to grow your relationship, be the initiator."

●"I'll watch a Keanu Reeves movie and I'll go, 'Wow. He's really not a great actor'. But the guy works really hard and keeps doing hit movies. I don't know, man. It sort of makes me not want to do this anymore when I hear shit like I was nominated for worst actor."

● "People talk about certain actors as brilliant and certain actors as being all right. Look at Jamie Foxx. I don't know if there's anybody out there who would have said three years ago that Jamie Foxx was going to win an Academy Award. Now he's getting everything. Everything! People are just throwing roles at him, and Denzel Washington is saying, 'Son of a bitch, I wanted to play that!' But how does that happen? I think everybody has the potential to do that. It's just about mining the right vein."

●"The week I met Demi I was on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, hosting Saturday Night Live, I had a movie coming out that was the No.1 movie in America that weekend. But I didn't have crazy stalkerazzi hanging out at the end of my driveway. Being with Demi really changed things."

●"I always feel like the butler at those kind of things (industry events) - like the butler that got a ticket, I'm really uncomfortable."

●"I could be with whoever to get my rocks off, or I could be with this person who is giving and caring, who values me as I really am and who believes in me more than I believe in myself. There's the choice: You could fuck around like a man-ho. Or you could be about something real. I'd rather go for that something real. It just happens to be the thing that people don't expect."

●"Am I getting the roles I think I should be getting? Of course not. The opportunities I get are not the doors that open. The opportunities I get are the challenges. The ones that don't get sent to me, those are the opportunities, because I have to work to overcome that."

●"I think what's fun about it (Punk'd) is that people get to see a celebrity doing just what they do on a regular basis and then reacting to a situation just like anyone else would - which is kind of great. and for the celebrities, it forces them to look at themselves for a second and go, 'wow I'm really trying to use my fame to my advantage.'"

●"If someone's hyping you up and you appreciate it but don't buy into it, then you can appreciate the criticism and not buy into that, either. But as soon as you start believing the praise, you're done for because then you've got to believe the criticism."

●"I watch the guys I look up to, and without in any way trying to be like them or have their career because they've already done it as good as anyone can, I try to learn from them."
