• With 3 words that describe him: "Funny, easygoing, lazy!"
• “High school was mainly me asking the counselors and teachers if I could leave to audition, but not booking anything. I was kind of introverted. Girls started noticing me a little bit more in senior year, and junior year, and that was weird. I got taller, let my hair go. I used to comb my hair back and do stupid stuff. But as soon as I had long hair, things changed. It always does in high school, it's a weird time. I'm glad I'm out of it.”
• On being famous: “I don't know -- like I said before, it's all kind of new to me. I'm just starting to suddenly get noticed when I go out. As long as it stays on a calm level, I'll be fine, I won't mind.”
• “I kind of wear my heart on my sleeve. In high school, my nickname was Hopeless Romantic.”
• I'm attracted to petite girls.
• “I'm not a class clown type of guy -- I'm kind of sarcastic, so I have a sarcastic sense of humor.”
• “In high school, my nickname was Hopeless Romantic. If I was interested in a girl, I did a lot of lovey-dovey things like writing poems. I'm still like that deep down, but it's hard to find somebody who I can be that way with.”
• On Mandy Moore: "She's a total doll, and she's very easygoing and willing to learn anything."
