My friends and I make short films. We pretended to rob the Dairy Queen where our friend worked, but someone thought we were real thieves and called the cops! Soon, the cops burst in with guns drawn!

I do a lot of weird movies that maybe you don't like and I experiment a lot but maybe I do appreciate the process and I think my greatest joy in this business is that I have had the ability to screw up in a lot of really interesting films!

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.

Fame was initially this kind of blunt tool that was thrust into my hands very young.

Ever since Poltergeist terrified me when I was 12, I can't watch horror films, I'm a real wuss.

I had a good time shooting in New Zealand. I almost bought a home there while I was there, because I loved it so much.

Honestly, I guess if you looked at my CV, I've been doing independent movies since I started. I think that I kind of took a few steps back from Hollywood as soon as it all started to come my way because I wasn't quite ready for the attention.
