Fame was initially this kind of blunt tool that was thrust into my hands very young.
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.
You think that if you are the best actor, you deserve the most or if you are the biggest star, you deserve the most. That race just isn’t important to me.
I don’t really comment on my personal life because I feel like any comment at all is opening up a whole can of worms. I’d just rather not talk about who I’m dating.
I’m looking forward to finding someone in life that I can be truly happy with and relate to on all levels – someone I can bounce my stuff off. Right now, though, I’m not searching for that. I couldn’t possibly handle it at this point. But I still like knowing it will be out there sometime later.
Up until the age of 16, I was very focused on sport – I played a lot of football. Then I tore my ACL and had to stop playing.
My parents are hippies, so I must have a bit of hippie in me.
I’m not all that demanding, I don’t think. My family might think otherwise.
I’m proud of ‘Black Hawk Down’ because I think it told a provocative story and it was honest. It could have had more opportunity to tell both sides of the story, but I’m still proud of it.
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!
If a girl doesn’t have a sense of humor, then what would you have to talk about?
You know what? I’m really attracted to British women, there’s something innately proper about them. However badly they behave their accent is so cute that it makes up for everything!
When you see something from afar, you develop a fantasy. But when you see it up close, 9 times out of 10, you wish you hadn’t.
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.
I’m quiet, and I don’t enjoy watching horror flicks, so am I like Zeke? No way.
You don’t stay the hottest guy forever unless you’re, um, Dionysus.
I’m always trying to find something unique or a project that I can do something unique in. When the director has a vision for a piece that I’ve never heard before, and they can back that up with visuals and they talk a good game, I get really interested in the world that they’re trying to create.
There are some films that really break the mold, and some films that don’t. I’ve been looking for films that break the mold a bit.
My interests are guitars, cars, and vacation. I’ve been playing guitar all my life. My dad was a professional guitarist, but I’m terrible, which lets me off the hook, so I just play for myself.
You know, honestly, acting in film is remarkably independent. You’re doing your thing and someone else is doing their thing.
