A good director creates an environment which gives the actor the encouragement to fly.

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

A lot of people believe in reading reviews. If I get too focused on some detail of what they've said about me, I'm going to end up shooting myself in the foot.

I'm obsessed with zombies. I like watching zombie movies and I read zombie books.

I'd always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

I do better on the first three takes; I won't be better at 20 takes.
