My mom used to take me down to the Jersey Shore when I was 7, 8, 9 years old. I can remember being down in that area - Belmar, Seaside Heights, Asbury Park and all those places that I went back and revisited.

You know I got kicked out of high school and I used to go to Hendrix concerts. I used to go see Marvin Gaye and B.B. King and so here I am on television as an actor playing the part of this really sweet wholesome all American boy. The reality was I had a much different kind of teenage life.

I've always had a special relationship with the U.K. fans, because even when I wasn't working they were very supportive.

My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.

It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes

My mother gave up a good part of her career to look after me.

In a very short period of time, actors can become kind of relevant and hot.
