When I was a little kid, I loved imagining things. I'd go outside and put on a cape and just imagine I was somebody else.

I like normal stuff people fear - like spiders and heights. I'm frightened by the unknown, by things that are hard to figure out and get a grip on.

The best advice my dad ever gave me is that acting is believing. Acting is not acting. It isn't putting on a face and dancing around in a mask. It's believing that you are that character and playing him as if it were a normal day in the life of that character.

I think most actors would say some of the most fun roles are when you're evil, and that's been really exciting to be the bad guy in a lot of scenarios. Because when you're 12, you don't get to play the villain too often.

My dad never told me that when you audition, you might not get the role. He wanted to wait until my first disappointment to tell me.

I've never had a MySpace or a Facebook page. I avoid that entirely.

Just keep learning from the role and not just go for the money.
