A lot of times people come up to me saying 'oh my god you can see,' and they think they're the first person to think of that joke, but they're probably the 10,000th one to say that joke.

Most books and movies that are handed to teenagers are filled with stereotypes.

When romance is done well in a movie, its awesome.

I don't want to play high schoolers anymore. I guess I don't feel that way. I just want to play characters who are really good.

I think as long as I have a creative outlet, I'm happy.

I love James Taylor, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith and Nine Inch Nails.

I'm lucky that I got to start acting when I was so young, and people put me in these movies. A lot of people don't get to play these parts because they start a little older.

Jazz is a constant theme in my life. My father is a jazz pianist, and from an early age I have been surrounded by it.

I would not describe myself as an avid jazz fan and I am not a jazz musician myself. However, that is not to say that jazz does not play a vital and important role in my life.

I think music is my favorite thing to do, but I go through periods where I think differently.

I kind of help solve world peace and world hunger. That's just kind of an average day off for me.

Tweet others the way you want to want to be tweeted.

The dead must heed them.

Every year if not every day we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge.

In my opinion we learn nothing from history except the infinite variety of men's behaviour. We study it, as we listen to music or read poetry, for pleasure, not for instruction.

When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now.

I'm interested in endurance. People persist in the face of the most excruciating hardships.

He who believes in the words of a dictator is the king of the fools!

People in general would rather die than forgive. It's THAT hard. If God said in plain language. "I'm giving you a choice, forgive or die," a lot of people would go ahead and order their coffin.

Our bloom is gone. We are the fruit thereof.

The ruins of time build mansions in eternity.
