~Quotes~

A lot of my friends thought actors were people who emoted way too much offstage, wore way too much patchouli, made strange, obtrusive comments in class and always had to be in the spotlight. I wanted to show people that you can do theater without having to be a complete idiot.

That's the thing about real movie stars that I'll never have. When real movie starswalk into a room, it's all about them. They know it and everybody else knows it. I like to fly under the radar. I try, anyway.

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.

I'm looking forward to finding someone in life that I can be truly happy with. Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life, and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come.

I don't think there's any problem with being a teen idol if you can handle it, if that's what comes. It's such an insane business. There's this standard you have to be in order to be a teen idol. I dunno if I could handle that.

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

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

There seems to be a kind of Noxzema feel about my group of actors. Responsibility and cleanliness are in. It doesn't mean there isn't any debauchery in Hollywood anymore; that's always going to be here. Not that anybody's been pushing me into arock 'n' roll lifestyle- it's just not chic anymore. Moderation is a pretty big word among the people that I know. There's practically around at the moment; it's pretty unexciting, actually. But I've been lucky enough to play a couple of dirty characters onscreen and that's good because you don't want everything to become sterile. You don't want to lose the messiness of life.

My most prized possession... I don't know. I'm not into things, man... I got a hat and a guitar. Jeez, I sound all bohemian and cheesy.

My friends will always tell me if I'm being different and, every once in a while, they'll bring me back down to earth. I've had the same friends for a long time. I think that says a lot about me, but it also says a lot about them. To be honest, it's a lot harder for them.

I speak my mind sometimes at inappropriate times, and I get kicked around an awful a lot for that. But I don't mean to be intrusive. I just kind of feel that sometimes things need to be said, and if they don't get said, I kind of tend to burst.

What I love about [acting] is really getting into another's person's life, figuring out their personality and just creating a full human being.

I find it odd how much attention has been paid to my personal life. I hardly ever read what's writen about me, so I'm the last one to know what's being said, but if I even so much as say hello to an actress I barely know, later I'll hear that it was printed in a paper that we're an item.

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.

I look at my dad [a building owner-manager] as an example of a good life. He doesn't work too much, so he's able to put his family first.

I don't particularly like fame, to tell you the truth. Being able to live your life in any way that you feel fit is something that very few people understand unless you 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 23. You don't want your grandmother reading that. Thank god my grandmother doesn't have a computer!

I was eating burritos with this girl and she asked me to be her prom date. How could I say no? We went and had a great time.

Fame can just snatch you up. Suddenly, it's beyond your control. Feelings of jealousy, of envy, can separate your friends from you. You, in turn, can get nasty, get scared of your friends - scared that they're out to take something from you. You can lose sight that your friends have been your friends for a long time and they don't want anything from you except your friendship.

I thought it was going to be this big picturesque Hollywood scene. I thought it was a bunch of guys in slouch carrying big planks, bulding sets, and singing, 'Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go. I thought it was all going to be a community. I thought all the studios were right next to each other.

I think I'm a genuinely mixed-up person. I'm aware of being goofed-up and just happy to be going through it. I'm a guy who likes to explore. I'm just looking for the next adventure.

I'm not the head of the NRA or anything like that, so people pretty much leave me alone. That's where celebrity gets sticky, I think: when people start to define you as one thing or another�as something they dislike or something that they really like. I think I'm at the beginning stages of it.
