Everyone has an identity crisis when they are 16 or 17 years old.

The Western world is having an identity crisis.

It may be the optimist in me, but I think America has a uniquely powerful and capacious glue internally. The American identity has always been ethnically and religiously neutral, so within one generation you have Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Jamaican-Americans - they feel American. It's a huge success story.

We're a nation in search of an identity, but it's quite exciting. I don't regard it as a problem. It's a challenge.

I have struggled with identity all my life. It's not like something that just happened last week.

We cannot consume our way into personal growth. Yet, millions of us have bought into this cynical concept of faux identity.

It's bad timing, but a lot of kids become teenagers just as their parents are hitting their mid-life crisis. So everybody's miserable and confused and seeking that new sense of identity.

I've suffered from an identity crisis my entire life. It's why I went into acting.
