I dont mind if somebody comes up to me and shakes my hand, but if Im in the middle of a restaurant and somebody asks me for a picture, I can be a jerk and say no, or I can say yes and draw more attention to myself, which is exactly the opposite of what I want.

People still recognize me all the time on the street. The first thing they say when they stop me is, "Where have you been?" The second comment they make is always, "Oh, you've grown up."

People do bad things in their lives. And those sort of things are forgivable. That's half the point of having confession in church - you need to be able to fess up to what you've done.

Acting found me. I thought maybe I should try to find it again. We'll see.

I'd made enough made money by the time I was 12 to never work again, so it's not about a big pay check with me.

The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.

I'm not expecting the American literary community to welcome me with open arms. To them I'm just some schmuck kid who wrote some book.
