I look up to actors. I look up to Robert DeNiro, I look up to Johnny Depp, I look up to Al Pacino, I look up to run-of-the-mill really good actors. I love watching movies, and I love watching other actors and learning from them.
There's the art house movies and the action movies and the chick films. I think the same thing's happening with actors.
I'm not really ashamed of who I am, but publicity for me is not really about letting people know who Eddie is inside.
I like the piano a lot better 'cause it seemed like I got a lot more instant music out of the piano than I did with the guitar.
Around 15, 16, I started not really wanting to be famous. I just loved acting, loved trying to make emotions clear to people.
She called me like a week later and said it was for T2. I loved The Terminator so it was pretty much like a dream come true.
I'm a real lazy, slow kind of person.
Being a kid in this business, you naturally grow up a lot quicker, and it could drive someone crazy if they're not careful.
I pretty much grew up in Pasadena just like any other kid who grows up in Pasadena.
But we all kind of knew we were doing a really good movie while we were filming it.
But one out of ten is the really good one, something that I really want to fight for. And I usually have to fight for it.
I know a lot of people my age are still trying to figure out what to do, and I consider myself lucky that I can make a living doing something that I truly enjoy.
I'm so embarrassed by that album. I don't even own it myself.
I had a hard time going back to school after T2. I really didn't want to go to private school.
