One casting director told me, 'You're the next Leonardo DiCaprio,' and when I heard that, I said, 'Let's talk about how I don't want anything to do with being like Leo.' He's an amazing actor, but the films we're pushing to do are different. I'm going my own way--in a big way.
I look for things that are going to challenge me as an actor.
I can't do talk shows, I don't do them, just because I get really nervous and fidgeting and shaky.
I'm living with two guys. I'm living with a slob and a guy who sleeps all day.
I don't think I want to play a teenager anymore.
I would like to do something a little bit more edgy.
I'm trying to go through the whole process of high school to college to work.
I've never liked the press part of it (no offense), but it comes with the job.
The next movie I do is not going to be in school.
When the movie's on, I usually watch more of the audience.
You know, I've never shot a gun in a movie.
For instance, when I go to the premiere on Tuesday I probably won't watch the film at all - I'll be watching the audience just to see their reaction to different moments, what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong, stuff like that.
I took six months off, finished high school, and hung out with friends.
I started off in a small theatre performance company and worked my way into commercials.
I spent most of my high school years on movie sets and I'd have like one teacher, which was really bad.
I wouldn't want to direct. I see how much work it is.
I guess I'm growing up in the film world.
For every 10 good things, there's always some jerk that wants to say something bad.
I want do some kind of action movie, car chases and explosions.
Id like to do an action film or a dark sort of independent piece.
Final Destination was the closest thing I've done to a teen movie but it certainly had an edge to it.
I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.
Yeah, I love doing ensemble pieces. You get to meet so many new people and make new friends.
