- At the same time, reading an action script... It makes me wonder.
Was The Matrix a good script? I don't know.
- 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.
- Because I could take this as an opportunity to create something that
I pretty much guarantee nobody else was going to create in film.
- But I understand where the pop music industry comes from because with
that, that helps things be more radio playable.
- But it's cool to be noticed for the smallest part of that.
- But, it is hard too, because I want to do another action film. Believe
it or not, it was fun.
- By my senior year in high school, I was friends with every group.
- Captain Nemo's car, which just looks amazing... we always thought
it made the Batmobile look kind of silly because this thing was just
extraordinary - no pun intended.
- Girls started noticing me a little bit more in senior year, and junior
year, and that was weird.
- He's a guy's guy, so it pretty much became like the impressions -
don't imitate Sean Connery's voice, and things like that. We were all
kind of doing it towards the end of the film, anyway, and he was cool
with it.
- High school was mainly me asking the counselors and teachers if I
could leave to audition, but not booking anything.
- I basically went in a little early to Prague and on the days that
we were shooting and I wasn't involved, I learned how to use two six
shooters and a rifle, a Winchester rifle.
- I didn't have abandonment issues but he's a little bit more like me
because Eli is a little bit more self-destructive and I'm not exactly
that way.
- I found out some really cool ways to swing around the Winchester.
- I graduated in 1996.
- I had never really fired guns before, so this was all very new to
me.
- I met some friends in the end of 10th, beginning of 11th, who were
in the popular group so I finished off high school in that group and
got to see both sides.
- I sing and play the guitar.
- I used to comb my hair back and do stupid stuff.
- I usually think in terms of music.
- I'm 25, but I was a kid on the set. But everybody was really great.
- I'm also 25, so I was very fortunate to book the films that I did
so I can try to get out of that, because you don't want to become stuck.
- I'm going to do my best to do both and die of an ulcer at age 30.
- I'm not giving up acting, I'm definitely not going to stop.
- I'm very cynical myself.
- I've always been a big fan of Bill Paxton, and I met him at the American
Pie premiere.
- I've never had a day job. I've been very fortunate.
- It's eight days per show. I could work two days in an episode and
the rest of those days, I'm practicing or playing a gig.
- My character is just going down and down, and something big is going
to happen that's going to bring us all back up.
- Right now, my favorite game is Resident Evil 2.
- Sexy is kind of like an aura around someone.
- Sexy, to me, doesn't have anything to do with beautiful.
- Sexy, to me, has everything to do with how one speaks, how someone
holds themselves, their smile, and how they treat people.
- So having that background and doing three years of a divorced family,
it wasn't hard, it was more like therapy.
- To be honest, what I'd be more passionate about at this second would
be music simply because I'm doing what I love which is acting right
now.
- 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.
- We are meeting with Sony, and we have a couple of other labels that
suddenly have interest and that's really great because none of them
have actually heard our stuff.
- 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.
- 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.
