I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.
For every 10 good things, there's always some jerk that wants to say something bad.
I've never liked the press part of it (no offense), but it comes with the job.
One casting director told me, 'You're the next Leonardo DiCaprio,' and when I heard that, I said, 'Let's talk about how I don't want anything to do with being like Leo.' He's an amazing actor, but the films we're pushing to do are different. I'm going my own way--in a big way.
I wouldn't want to direct. I see how much work it is.
I started off in a small theatre performance company and worked my way into commercials.
