I can't do talk shows, I don't do them, just because I get really nervous and fidgeting and shaky.
I've tried to steer away from them as much as I can and do things that are a little bit outrageous, edgier, something that hasn't been done.
Live long, play hard... oh wait that's Nike
One casting director told me, 'You're the next Leonardo DiCaprio,' and when I heard that, I said, 'Let's talk about how I don't want anything to do with being like Leo.' He's an amazing actor, but the films we're pushing to do are different. I'm going my own way--in a big way.
For every 10 good things, there's always some jerk that wants to say something bad.
I want do some kind of action movie, car chases and explosions.
Id like to do an action film or a dark sort of independent piece.
I don't think I want to play a teenager anymore.
Final Destination was the closest thing I've done to a teen movie but it certainly had an edge to it.
I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.
I'm living with two guys. I'm living with a slob and a guy who sleeps all day.
I wouldn't want to direct. I see how much work it is.
I guess I'm growing up in the film world.
I look for things that are going to challenge me as an actor.
