I'm not all that demanding, I don't think. My family might think otherwise.

Running around when I was a kid was a really happy time; a time when getting home for dinner or for sleep were my only responsibilities.

I just think of interesting roles to play. I guess that I have matured, I guess growing up and becoming a man, your taste in characters changes and I think I have become more interested in active characters as I have become less contemplative in my personal life. Things have become a little bit more interesting in the doing these days and less interesting in the thinking about the doing.

When you see something from afar, you develop a fantasy. But when you see it up close, 9 times out of 10, you wish you hadn't.

I don't think there's a problem with being a teen idol, if that happens to me, I'll be happy to deal with it.

I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire.

You don't stay the hottest guy forever unless you're, um, Dionysus.
