People like to examine the things that frighten them, to look at them and give them names, so saints look for god, and scientists look for evidence. They're both just trying to take away from the mystery, to take away from the fear.

My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.

I played the young Reese Witherspoon in 'Sweet Home Alabama' when I was 7, and the boy who played the young Josh Lucas was 10.

I learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.

I'm home schooled, and I have a teacher that goes with me on all my movies.

I never get scared making these kinds of movies because it's all make-believe, but I did cry when I saw the finished version of Man On Fire because it is so sad.

I really enjoy what I'm doing. I think you have to have a good time and not look too far back or too far ahead.
