Have you ever noticed how most critics disagree with the public? That should tell you a lot about critics.
I feel like I'm really honest in my interviews, to a fault. I've lost friends over it. Major friends. And I'm heartbroken about that.
I grew up around a lot of aggressive guys. My parents used to take me to AA meetings when I was very young. So I know aggression, I know insanity.
I think every young actor in Los Angeles went up for that role. It was between Frankie Muniz and me, and he pulled out, so I got the role.
If I have enough money to eat I'm good.
I think there's a form of honesty, because I used to be very honest with the press, and then it backfired on me, and I understood it.
I wasn't cocky, just confident; I went to an all black school, a white kid.
I'm just selfish. I have to be for what I do.
Old Americana vintage gangster stuff has a fantastical feel; it feels less dirty in a way. It feels like the opera of crime.
Respected, I almost want to be revered, that's what I'm chasing.
I come from divorce. I'm only doing marriage once. It's not a game for me.
My mom is at my house every day, and she nags me about everything, especially hygiene.
I think envy motivates a lot of people.
Animation has completely changed, and I've always been a big fan.
