memories people mind
I feel that there are great minds up there who would like to see what I can do with an Oscar nomination. I guess many people would change after a nomination in the way they see things. In my case it's really irrelevant in terms of what I do. Still, it was an incredible experience which I will put in my memories, like everything else.
mean actors fields
I've been wanting to go into music ever since I can remember. I mean even before I became an actor. I just thought it would be a tough field to break into, so I became an actor instead.
acting hobbies making-money
Music is a hobby, because I'm not making any money out of it, but I put just as much conviction into that as I do into my acting.
believe selling-products phony
Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.
brother stupid talent
I'm a minor, stupid talent compared to my brother (Joaquin).
dollars hamburgers
I wouldn't eat a hamburger for 40,000 dollars.
children kids names
Rich kids gave us their old clothes. They were the best clothes we ever had. We were these very pure, naive, poor children. The rich kids called us a lot of names but it never bothered us because we didn't know what the words meant.
thinking play people
I've been around the movie business, so I can play it cool and all that, but when people are different they have that off thing about them. Their whole presence is just a little innocent, I think.
football beach dog
I'm really normal. I play football, go to the beach, drive. We have dogs. I can imagine people calling me a character, but I'm Joe Straight.
one-direction phoenix people
People wonder if I'll always be a part of this family and the answer is yes. My family has a lot of good energy going in one direction and because of it, we get a lot of things done. That's why I'll always spend a lot of time at Camp Phoenix.
trying actors mold
When I was younger, I was worried about how others viewed me and if I was good enough. I realize now that you can't mold an image or try to be something that you are not. As far as being an actor is concerned, your work really speaks for itself.
people ironic moments
Everything is ironic to me. There are moments I find hysterical, but I'm probably the only one who would find that, except for a few people.
character acting neat
I really like acting because you can create a character. You can make someone who has never existed before. That's neat.
regimes teach palestinian
I can’t on my own change the regime in South Africa or teach the Palestinians to learn to live with the Israelies, but I can start with me.
