I became popular very young. I viewed myself as just a young actor trying to figure out how to do well, and, you know, making mistakes and learning and growing.

I'm very 'spur of the moment'. I'm always trying to think of fun things to do to create a memory.

I don't like to act in my personal life. I like to be straightforward.

I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!

You don't stay the hottest guy forever unless you're, um, Dionysus.

Be honest with yourself and lie to everyone else.

My friends and I make short films. We pretended to rob the Dairy Queen where our friend worked, but someone thought we were real thieves and called the cops! Soon, the cops burst in with guns drawn!

I admire when people take the harder path, not because they are masochistic and want to beat themselves up, but because you actually kind of learn more and I think you grow more.

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.

When I turned 18, I skipped my party to take my girlfriend on a road trip. It turned out to be an amazing birthday.

Ever since Poltergeist terrified me when I was 12, I can't watch horror films, I'm a real wuss.

I am not sure if women are attracted to genius. Can you imagine the wise wizard winning the woman over the gallant swordsman? It seems rather otherworldly in more ways than one.

The invisible carnage of the unf-ed wives and the children not being read to is just wafting out.

I thought I'd go to a bookstore and see what moved me.

You hurt the ones you love the most. Because it hurts you the most.

Almost as though the painting itself becomes the embodiment of a type of struggle for visibility, and this might be considered the main subject of the painting.

Mara Casey gave me my first job. I saw something online, and it was for a part in a "Gilmore Girls" episode, and I thought I was right for it.

Filmmakers are going to make films, just like painters are going to paint.

My gravest secret is that I really did fake the moon landing. On Venus!

One thing I've been doing since I was a little kid and that's score touchdowns so if somebody needs somebody to get in the red zone and do some work, I could probably still do that pretty well.

Buy a cross section of American industry, and if a cross section of American industry doesn't work, certainly trying to pick the little beauties here and there isn't going to work either.
