I didn't really go the starving-artist route. I kind of went and did massive, commercial things.
— Ashton Kutcher
I trust my government. I actually have a trust for my government with my data, and I trust them to protect me. They've protected me - they've made the best efforts to protect me my whole life.
You know, photo conversations are replacing verbal conversations. I don't know if that's a bad thing. A photo is worth a thousand words.
Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.'
Women have a level of outward compassion that a lot of men don't necessarily have. Guys feel as deeply as women, but they don't share it as much.
True luxury is being able to own your time - to be able to take a walk, sit on your porch, read the paper, not take the call, not be compelled by obligation.
A lot of people use social media to share mundane things or for self-glorification. I try to use it to share interesting things with people.
I wouldn't say you have an online life and a real life. I think technology is just mapping and organizing what already exists.
Steve Jobs had something like a 90% approval rating from his employees. You hear stories about him being this short-tempered, aggressive person, which he was. But he was in the pursuit of making people around him better, so the product they created would be better.
I woke up many mornings not knowing what I'd done the night before. I'm amazed I'm not dead.
Modeling is the best because you have to look hot, which comes easy to me, you know. I'm blessed with that.
I'm from Iowa, we don't know what cool is!
I don't believe that old cliche that good things come to those who wait. I think good things come to those who want something so bad they can't sit still.
There was a point in time where I was doing movies to be able to afford to live in a certain way.
I think that when we start thought-policing people and idea-policing people, then that's crossing a line. And I think, you know, everybody's so afraid of this imaginary line of thought police that they forget their own personal safety.
Your best T-shirt should be like your bed; it just feels like you are home when you are in it.
The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It's personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will. It has a unique scent. It requires deciphering. But, most important, it's flawed.
We all have that desire for something special, something committed. We all want to be The One.
My mom's whole side of the family, they're all Packers fans. My mom's a Bears fan. My stepdad is a Vikings guy. So that gets ugly. My mom sits upstairs watching the Bears game; he sits in the basement. They can't watch it together. Football's a violent anger in our family dynamic.
I think privacy is valuable. You don't have to share everything, and it's healthy to occasionally hit the pause button and ask yourself if you're oversharing. But at the end of the day, if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to hide.
I don't have to act for work anymore; I can act for passion. That's freeing, but it's also a prison of its own. When you can do anything you want, you're really responsible to do something great. And that's scary.
I think we've all been in the middle of doing something we cared about, when someone coming in the room and saying 'hello' was annoying. I personally can understand that, as someone who tries to create.
I am only young once, who cares if I'm a goofball!
I'm a guy's guy. I don't comb my hair unless I have to, and I don't use lotions or fancy shampoos.
I want to be like Tom Cruise from 'The Outsiders' and go on and do amazing movies for a long time.
I'll probably never be the best actor in Hollywood, but I hope to be the hardest working.
There's something advantageous about having people underestimate your intellect, insomuch as a lot of things are revealed to you. They assume you don't know what you're talking about, then all of a sudden, you do. And the next thing you know, you have information you wouldn't normally have.
Ultimately there's a dirty secret about the Internet, which is nothing disappears. All these companies have all your information. They have your search history.
You know, I think that romance sort of coincides with effort, so you can fall flat on your face, but as long as you're making a great effort, I think it comes off as romantic.
The reality is that we communicate with every part of our being, and there are times when we must use it all. When someone needs us, he or she needs all of us. There's no text that can replace a loving touch when someone we love is hurting.
I certainly don't think I'm deserving of taking up space forever as a human. There's a whole generation of people yet to be born that are going to be so much more evolved than I am. I don't want to take up space. They're going to be better equipped to make the world a better place than I am.
For me, the most entertaining evening would be to go sit with entrepreneurs and talk with them about how they're building their companies and how we can help to make them better. That's the one thing in the world - well, I love doing that.
People used to behave morally because they thought God was always watching - in some ways God today is the collective, and the collective is watching.
I've constantly done my best to get the best material I can get with the best directors I can get to direct me.
Acting can be so much fun that it's easy to forget that what you're doing is a job. But if I've got my tie on, I'm going to work.
I'm continually trying to make choices that put me against my own comfort zone. As long as you're uncomfortable, it means you're growing.
I'm happy wherever I go, whatever I do. I'm happy in Iowa, I'm happy here in California.
My mom is still yelling at me because she needs more autographed pictures.
