"Man, I don't think you'd let me cut your hair."
~Josh on the type of hairdresser he'd make

JH: Oh yeah, when I was a little kid, I tried to draw a goatee on my face.
CK: What did you use?
JH: A marker. A Sharpie, it kinda stuck for a while.
~From an interview on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn

"Jesus, I don't know. it's just another movie - it's just bigger."
~Josh on what making Pearl Harbor was like

"I've come on to a couple of British girls and a couple have come on to me. British girls are beautiful. But they don't really give it away if they like you. I've met a lot of Australians here. Whoah! They just grab hold of you. But what I really love is French girls. Doesn't matter what they look like, it's the accent..."
~Josh on flirting and his love life

"We got a little on our noses. But we were actually snorting Vitamin C tablets. So it was pretty healthy for us."
~Josh on his character's [Zeke] occupation in The Faculty

"I got a lot of nicks and cuts on my hands. I don't think I'll go near another pair of scissors ever again."
~Josh on his occupation (hairdresser) in Blow Dry

I love to reach out and slot myself into the Hollywood system and do my thing, but I don't ever want to be a fully-fledged member, someone who is a stable element. I don't want to be a pillar - I want to be a guy on the outside hitting it with a hammer."
~Josh on fitting in Hollywood

"I don't particularly like fame, to tell you the truth. Being able to live your life in any way you feel fit is something that very few people understand unless they lose it. And you can't lose that. Like on the internet I believe it says I'm an alcoholic. It's ridiculous. I'm 21. You don't want your grandmother reading that. Thank god my grandmother doesn't have a computer!"
~Josh on how he handles fame

"When the part was brought to me, I was told he was the coolest guy in school and that was about it. I was like, "Oh, OK." But what I got from reading the script was that he's the classic underachiever. He could do anything he wants to. He just decides he doesn't want to because, you know, fuck the system, man."
~Josh on his character, Zeke, in The Faculty

"Not a chance. It's not the wedding finger. Actually, it's just that this ring won't come off, so I've had it on for three years."
~Josh on whether the ring seen in a lot of his early movies has special significance

"I'm looking forward to the excitement that comes with sharing your life with one person, instead of throwing it all out to the wind or keeping it all to yourself. But I couldn't handle it at this point, I'm too immature."
~Josh on relationships

"You know what? I'm really attracted to British women. There's something innately proper about them. However badly they behave their accent is so cute that it makes up for everything."
~Josh on women

"We had a few disagreements about it at first because when I decided to give up on high school. It's always hard for me to understand that someone might have a problem with what I'm doing. I guess I'm kind of a self-involved person, but I don't think there are many actors who aren't."
~Josh on his parent's reaction to his acting career

"It's not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the terror bombards you."
~Josh on why he can make horror movies even if he's afraid of watching them

"In my next movie [Virgin Suicides], I wear hair extensions. At first they were, like, glued to my scalp. But they kept coming off in my sleep when I would roll over. I'd wake up with what looked like a squirrel on my chest, so after that we went for a wig."
~Josh on his hair

"It's tough when in between takes they yell, 'Cut!' and everybody's going about their business and nobody thinks to uncuff you. When I got out of there, I had no more skin on my wrists. . . [or] dignity!"
~Josh on his handcuffed position in the TV series Cracker

"I was up for The Postman, and I read for it a couple times, but the casting lady told me I was too tall for the part -- taller than Kevin Costner."
~Josh on memorable auditions
