Kissing Macaulay Culkin was like kissing a brother. It was really no big deal.
The big difference with the recognition is that when I go on an audition, I don't feel like they're testing my abilities as much as they're just seeing if it's a fit. So that's nice.
When I graduated from college I thought I was over with show business and was pursuing other things.
I love... anything in black and white. Just put it on the TV, I'll watch.
I don't let it bother me too much if someone doesn't like me. I just figure there's no accounting for taste. It's not me, it's my acting. It's like if someone doesn't like someone's food, they just don't like my acting.
I've been poked fun of throughout my career by fellow actors for my notes that I take. I have spiral notebooks that I carry with me on every project I do, and I take notes just so that if I have to relive a scene, if I have to go back, I know what I did.
Keep in mind that there are computers, that do touch things up. Like when I got a hold of the poster for 'Gold Diggers,' I said: 'Hey, wait a minute! Those aren't my teeth!
Right now I'm just thinking about school and trying to get those grades and keep them up! In case I become a Norma Desmond when I grow up, I can have something to fall back on!
I really don't like to do back-to-back movies. I concentrate on things at home. My family and school life are important to me. I try to do one movie a year.
I'm very happy to make specific choices (as an actor), (but) you can't be married to them because you never know when the writers are going to be like, "By the way, you have no brothers, you have a sister."
First, I was a fact checker for Zagat and then I was an editorial assistant for HarperCollins publishing house.
I pray every night. I just talk to God and I can go to sleep. I don't worry anymore.
I only surround myself with people who are intellectually stimulating.
We're at this place where we're pushing the next stylistic envelope.
