In all honesty I think that I've had a very normal life, even though I've been making movies since I was 9.

When you have love in a story, it gives you the freedom to really take the characters to very interesting places.

I was very fortunate and didn't personally encounter any bullies in school, however bullies exist in many ways in life.

I play basketball probably four to five days a week when I'm back home.

Our lives are not just measured in years. They are measured in the lives we touch around us.

Doing action, the thing is it's cool to watch it, and as a guy I like seeing it. With the romance thing it's something everyone can relate to. Once you have love as a motivator in a story, I think everyone can do anything. Once someone's in love they can do the craziest thing that no one's ever thought of. You have that excuse to do whatever you want.

My mom has always been a big advocate, especially in the gay, lesbian, transsexual and bisexual community, so for me it's always been a part of my soul.
