I was in a play directed by my father, and I was doing a fight scene, and the choreography went haywire, and I flew backward over a chair and ripped my thumb all the way to my wrist and had to have surgery to sew up all the tendons in there.

When you try to worry about missteps and all that kind of stuff, that's not the healthiest way to be.

I'm just mystified and fascinated by women, and I'm still single. Hence all of that, and the fact that I celebrate them so much, I understand that I'm unevolved at this exact moment to share my life with one. I wouldn't inflict that upon anyone yet. But, I'm getting closer.

All I've done is work... I arrived in Los Angeles in my early 20s and I've been pounding the pavement ever since.

I think people are gravitating towards these period dramas because I think they're looking for a simpler time.

I'm in the middle of just trying to impress my nieces, who think I work for the bus company because they saw a picture of me on a bus. I did an independent movie with Mark Pellington (I Melt with You), and then tried to impress my nieces again, by starring opposite Miley Cyrus (in So Undercover). So, basically I'm just trying to get some respect from my family.

Sometimes in life, we have to continue to learn the same lesson until it sticks.
