• "When I was a child, I wanted to be an actor, but I had really bad buck teeth. I didn't want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So, I got the braces."
• "I worked at a McDonald's drive-through. I could always tell when girls were interested: They'd drive around again and say, "I forgot something."
• On painting: "I needed an outlet in high school and came across painting. I've actually been painting longer than I've been acting. A movie is a collaborative effort, and with painting you just have yourself."
• On finding time to relax: "Never. It's an impossibility. I don't even like to sleep. I feel as if there's too much to do."
• What he looks for in a girl: "Just someone I can relate to artistically and who can also be understanding and supportive of the demands of my lifestyle."
