By my senior year in high school, I was friends with every group
Certain people just go home and veg out, certain people go travel the world and certain people are like, "Screw this, I'm going to work the entire time."
Girls started noticing me a little bit more in senior year, and junior year, and that was weird
When what's around you - such as scripts, or like me being on the show and playing 18, now me doing this film playing 18 - it's kind of been what's been there for me.
But, it is hard too, because I want to do another action film. Believe it or not, it was fun.
Because I could take this as an opportunity to create something that I pretty much guarantee nobody else was going to create in film.
What I got out of it was a great experience working with great people and it becoming a tremendous - basically - a family at the end that none of us wanted to leave.
Because A Walk To Remember had come out and it had made money and I got a lot of congratulations at that time as it happens out there.
To me, the 90's signaled the end of glam rock, the beginning of gangsta rap, and hopefully the beginning and end of boy bands.
While watching the New Orleans Saints on television, I got angry and punched my bed, and then my remote control flew up and hit me in the head. My girlfriend didn`t stop laughing for an hour.
I'm 25, but I was a kid on the set. But everybody was really great.
I found out some really cool ways to swing around the Winchester.
Right now, my favorite game is Resident Evil 2.
It's always hard to be away and relocate. When you relocate for a film, there's an end in sight.
