If people perceive you as a good actor then they'll wish for you to be a good actor and they'll root for you when they watch you, but if you come out and you're going to clubs every night people don't root for you anymore.

Agents are used to the parents pimping. They're not used to the kid pimping.

When you're working with the best of the best, I'm not gonna put that on hold so I can work with people who studied the best of the best.

I've spent more on my Dodger tickets that I did on my car.

It's really easy to fall for someone on-set, but in the end you know, it's a representative and it's not really them.

I'm still in the middle of the transition. I'm still in man-boy mode. And that won't go away for a while. But it's a fun time to be in, because it's very rare that people get to work through this time. It's rare to see a John Cusack in Say Anything. It's rare that you'd find an actor right in the cusp of the child-to adult transition, just got through puberty, just getting into a different way of life. There's few movies like that, and few roles like that, so it's going to be tough to pick and choose. I guess the goal is good people, work with good people.

I just wish the crowd I was associated with was more passionate about what they were doing and less consumed with the commerce of the art form.
