Leto: "I think that to explore the uncomfortable and the politically incorrect is the job of the artist."

Leto: "I kinda have the opposite of ADD. I have a hyper-focused disorder, where if there's a given task in front of me I really concentrate on that."

Leto: "Music is subjective to everyone's unique experience."

Leto: "Teens are always shown as one dimensional. They're stereotyped. When I was in high school, I cared about more than getting a date or making the team."

Leto: "I used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house."

Leto: "I've always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it's been downgraded from a planet, and I think it should remain a planet. Once you've given something planetary status it's kind of mean to take it away."

Leto: "It's nice to be able to communicate digitally with people around the world."

Leto: "I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater. Just having the art-communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn't a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn't try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth."

Leto: "I take computers practically apart and put them back together. I have a supercomputer I built over the years out of different computers."

Leto: "It's not like I'm hanging out at shopping malls or going to celebrity golf tournaments. I'm so in my own little world. I got my dog, my music, my brother, a couple of friends."

Leto: "When you make music, you're in really direct contact with your fans out there, so you hear all kinds of stories."

Leto: "I showed up in L.A. with $500 and a backpack and I stayed at a shelter, so nobody handed me anything. I worked for every single thing that I have."

Leto: "I learned early on how to treat women by the examples that were set around me."

Leto: "I understand a lot of the female needs. I'm not saying I know all of them all the time though."
