I grew up as a really sick kid; I had really bad childhood asthma and was at home all the time in New York.

I need to gain a lot more experience. I think so much of being a director, other than the technical aspect and the artistry of it, is the confidence that you are, I think in many ways, you're the captain of the ship.

Acting's not therapy, but it can be therapeutic.

I would love to start directing. I just hope to find the right thing and, if I was afforded the opportunity, I think it would be something great. It would be really hard, but I think it would be a great privilege.

I don't really understand why I should be a role model but I know that children do look up to me, so it is my responsibility to motivate people and be inspiring. I hope that I can do that for kids.

I mean, the great thing about being an actor is you can investigate parts of your brain that might have otherwise gone dormant.

I have a respect for the 3-D computer-generated action movies, but my first love is stuff like 'Lethal Weapon.
