Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice

What's important is self-appreciation

I love the rush of being creative. I really think I live for it.

In high school, I was one of the cofounders of New Kids on the Block my freshman year in high school. But I also started studying theatre in high school my freshman year as well. So throughout high school, I was actually doing both.

We never really felt a real level of respect. The fame was fantastic, but that wasn't that important to me, because for every million people that loved me I focused on the one that hated me.

In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.

It wasn't until The Sixth Sense that people started saying, wow, man, you're an actor. People didn't think of me as the guy in a band anymore.
