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 gave up meat when I was twelve. & One day I was cutting up a chicken for my mom, and I hit a tumor with the knife. There was pus and blood all over the place. That was enough for me.

Up until the age of 16, I was very focused on sport - I played a lot of football. Then I tore my ACL and had to stop playing.

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.

I think vampires have gotten maybe a little bit silly in the last years where they're all wearing crushed velvet and reading poetry and making sweet love to their victims, you know, it's not really all that scary.

I always find that I have to be emotionally on my character's side for it to be convincing.

Not living in L.A. gives me a different perspective. I'm not so caught up in the daily process of self-congratulations that's out there.
