My high school was nothing like West Beverly High, let me tell you. I grew up in Fredericktown, Ohio.

I'm not much of a matchmaker. I think people have to make their own choices and mistakes and all that stuff.

When I was a kid, I was at a bowling alley and I ran into a soda machine. I still have the scar on my right eyebrow obviously.

I think that sometimes kids use the show as a jumping off point for talking about things with their parents.

When I was a kid, I just devoured TV 24 hours a day. Now that it's actually available 24 hours a day, I'm usually busy doing other stuff. But I do watch TV when I can.

I have a girlfriend, but I don't really want to talk about her. I won't name her. She isn't in show business, has nothing to do with it. So I'd rather just keep her out of it.

I was something of a prankster. One time I put a ski mask on my head and used a fake gun on the school secretary so that I could get some of my friends out of detention.
