I love playing the bad guy getting away with stuff. I was that kid who learned from my older brothers who got away with everything by smiling.

I don't Google myself, but I've heard that people think I'm gay. I've heard it all.

In L.A., I was meeting people who were all actors. My mind started to open up to what acting was. I didn't realize that Brad Pitt was a real person. I didn't think he was a robot or a machine, but I thought you were just born into acting - that it's a family tree, kind of like NASCAR. No one can just say, 'Hey, I'm going to be a NASCAR driver.'

Bill [Condon] is such a great actor's director. He cares about what you're thinking. And, he's very open. Even though he was pressed for time, and he was doing two movies at once, and all this stuff was happening around him, he would still take time to sit there and talk to you about your scene and your character and what you were going through. That was really a treat.

I finish so many books it's amazing. I'm also doing Rosetta Stone, learning some French.

I used to wear sweats and a T-shirt to auditions, but my agent would yell at me and tell me I had to look nice and presentable. So I had to drop that habit.

The coolest part about seeing a girl wear something comfortable is the smile that you can just feel coming through from inside her.
