When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.

One thing I love about making an ensemble film is that you can have ten people come away from it with ten different messages.

I did a film which was considered an independent movie with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia called Confidence, and that's the type of film I was willing to take a chance on that because of the caliber of people involved with the film.

I want viewers to relate to me on a different level, not just a sexual level.

It's hard when you see a scene where it's raining, and we have the rain machine, and you see it for 5 minutes, but that scene takes all day to shoot, and you do it with rain, and the dry off, and go back and do it again.

To me the work is so much more interesting, the parts that don't require you just to take your shirt off.

I do feel that movies and music do have the power to slightly influence a person's decision. I believe that if violence is not in a person, then the film is not going to encourage them.
