I always knew I was going to die in space.

I just graduated from high school, and I was working at Blockbuster. Not only did I get into movies while I was there, but I was putting away boxes and looking at the kids on the covers. It felt like windows into these seemingly perfect lives.

I started a band [Big Japan] for fun. These sticks break easily, but they feel good.

I worry that I can come off smarmy. I wonder if I was listening to myself if I'd want to kick my own ass.

I just want to be in good things that I want to see, and I want to work with talented people who are smarter than myself.

And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.

I have been in teen shows for years, so doing that stuff - kissing - is kind of commonplace and not a big deal. It was way more cool just because it was Meg Ryan.
