When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school.
I don't know what my daughter will become.
I didn't see 'Star Wars' in theaters until George Lucas re-tweaked it.
I did '24;' it was terrible. I hated every moment of it.
A car just gets me from A to B. I really don't spend that much time driving.
A couple of years ago, right before I made 'Down to You,' there was a moment when I questioned what I was doing and if it meant anything. I felt like I wasn't accomplishing anything, that the goals I'd set were silly goals. Finally, I realized I just loved acting. It was a very clear moment, and my whole life changed then.
When I was in high school. I was considered really weird and strange, and people kind of kept their distance.
When I was a kid, 'Star Wars' was it. Like, it's in your DNA. I'm old enough to have seen the original one.
I grew up all over the place, but the majority of my years were spent in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I don't know if acting is genetic. Maybe it's environmental.
I played Little League. I was a 'pitcher.' But we had a pitching machine, so I was just basically an 'in-infield' shortstop because all I got to do was field bloopers six feet from the plate. I couldn't hit, so that was pretty much my entire job.
Shooting in Brooklyn is like opening a time capsule. Nothing has changed. Everything looks like it did in the eighties.
My god-father, Bob Wall, was in a couple of Bruce Lee movies, and he trained Bruce Lee when he came to America.
It's so easy to be selfish in your 20s and not want to sacrifice.
