1 | For instance, when I go to the premiere on Tuesday I probably won't watch the film at all - I'll be watching the audience just to see their reaction to different moments, what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong, stuff like that. |
2 | You know, I've never shot a gun in a movie. |
3 | I look for things that are going to challenge me as an actor. |
4 | I guess I'm growing up in the film world. |
5 | I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me. |
6 | I've never liked the press part of it (no offense), but it comes with the job. |
7 | Final Destination was the closest thing I've done to a teen movie but it certainly had an edge to it. |
8 | The next movie I do is not going to be in school. |
9 | When the movie's on, I usually watch more of the audience. |
10 | For every 10 good things, there's always some jerk that wants to say something bad. |
11 | I've always been interesting in the lighting aspect and always listened to what they were saying. |
12 | I can't do talk shows, I don't do them, just because I get really nervous and fidgeting and shaky. |
13 | I don't think I want to play a teenager anymore. |
14 | I spent most of my high school years on movie sets and I'd have like one teacher, which was really bad. |
15 | I started off in a small theatre performance company and worked my way into commercials. |
16 | Id like to do an action film or a dark sort of independent piece. |
17 | I'm trying to go through the whole process of high school to college to work. |
18 | I took six months off, finished high school, and hung out with friends. |
19 | (2012, on landing the "Stan" Eminem video because of Dr. Dre) I had a friend who was a mutual friend. That friend called me up saying, "Hey, Dre's a big fan of Final Destination. Would you come in and meet Eminem?" And I said, "In a heartbeat." I went into the studio and I met him and he approved it. And the next week we were shooting. It was a wild, wild shoot. Dido looked borderline-scared sometimes during that shoot. I was playing this crazy, obsessed lunatic fan, and this was her first acting thing. She'd look at me like, "Are you being serious right now?" It was pretty crazy. Dre co-directing it was huge for me. I've listened to his music from the time I was a young teenager all the way up until now. The guy's a legend. He's a genius... You just feel the greatness around. He's smart, and he knows what he's doing. It's the same feeling you get when you're around Spielberg. You just know that they're something special. |
20 | (2012, on being a former teen heartthrob) Well, it was something that was really hard to break out of. As soon as I got to 17 and 18 years old and I wasn't playing these teen roles anymore, it was hard to transition. So I thought I was going to do the weirdest stuff I could possibly do. Stuff that was edgier and alternative, like Idle Hands and SLC Punk! and the "Stan" video. I wanted to get out of that kind of teen-idol thing. So far it's worked. Now I'm doing another transition from the college roles and all that to young doctor, young lawyer, young cop. It's been quite a journey. |
21 | There are tons of things that have been written about me on the Internet that are total crap. I'll go on to these fan sites and think, where the hell did that come from? All of a sudden I have two gerbils and four goldfish? I mean, really, two gerbils? And they're named Coke and Pepsi or something like that? Come on! |
22 | My fans made me, but sometimes there's some weird stories about me, my favorite color, the kind of girls I like, all of that stuff that's just not true and I never said it. All I ask is that my fans don't believe everything they read. |
23 | I don't know if I have ever been in love. |
24 | Live long, play hard.... Oh, wait, that's Nike |
