Away from the glare of Hollywood, Ashton Kutcher's not what you might expect. He's not all Hollywood and personality, he's a guy like anyone else trying to find a higher purpose in life, especially someone living life inside a high-profile industry. Over the years, a couple guys on The Deadbolt staff have had the opportunity to talk to Kutcher in person and he's a lot more spiritually complex and groundedly aware than you'd think for a guy who's made a name for himself inside the world of comedy. He's certainly an interesting dude to talk to and someone who makes for great conversation.

While doing press for his latest role in the comedy What Happens in Vegas with Cameron Diaz, released on May 9, Kutcher shared his thoughts on everything from working with Cameron Diaz and his relationship in the movie to the secret to maintaining a good relationship in his own life, his focus on giving back to people, his spiritual awareness, and how making a movie can also be a spiritual experience.

Ashton Kutcher on whether he knew Cameron Diaz from when she worked with Demi Moore in Charlie's Angels:

"No. Well, I didn't, I wasn't dating Demi when she shot Charlie's Angels. I only started dating her when they were at - right before the premiere, actually. So I hadn't really met Cameron. I had said hello to her maybe a couple of times."

Kutcher on the importance of commitment in his own life since he's not committed to a partner in the movie:

"Once my character is with Cameron, you'll notice I'm not with anyone else in the film. So he is - he's sort of forced to be committed by the courts, right? In real life, I am married, so that would be, like, fully committed. I don't think you can be halfway married. You're either in there, or you're not."

On whether his friends were surprised when he got married:

"You know what, they knew. They had met Demi, and so they weren't surprised at all. Once they'd spent time with the two of us together, it wasn't really a question as to whether or not we could be together in that way."

On how people find different ways of asking him about his marriage:

"Yeah, and then I just did another thing on Saturday Night Live because people keep asking about it. That was funnier than what other people do, which I did a sketch called "The Cougar Den" with Cameron. There was somewhat another comment on the same thing, which is a comment on the same thing, because if you guys aren't gonna do it funny, I am [laughs]. That's kind of my feelings about.

Kutcher on whether people see him as a prankster after Punk'd or if he's mostly serious:

"What? No, I'm not all serious. I like to have fun, but I'm not like a big practical joke guy. That was a character I created. Yeah, I haven't really done it in three years. I haven't done the show, but, you know, April Fools Day I've pulled a prank on my assistant that was kind of funny. That was probably the most recent that I've done. I just got a blood pack and put it in my mouth and I walked a block from the set to my trailer and I walked out - I was like, 'Hey, whaaaa!’ and I had blood hanging out. And then she wasn't there [laughs]. I'm like really not good at it when I don't have the fake teeth."

Kutcher on how he maintains a successful relationship:

"How do I keep it successful? There's a great book called "The Spiritual Rules of Engagement". If you wanna know how to keep together a relationship, I suggest reading that cause he explains it a lot better than I do."
