It's very weird because the 'It' guy usually is not the 'It' guy next year or even a guy that anyone is talking about.

Child actors become types. The cutesy type, the funny type, the dark type. Any time you're a type, your career's over. It's not been effortless for me; I've had bumps in the road, you know? I was in Dumb And Dumberer. It's not been a flawless thing so far. But all in all, I'm proud of it. Most proud of it because of the diversity. Because the genres are different.

I've learned a great deal about a certain type of filmmaking. But I have ambitions toward another type of filmmaking that I haven't been allowed to engage in yet.

I love doing stuff that I haven't done before. That's the goal: To keep reinventing myself.

A relationship to me is never about the romance.

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.

I wasn't cocky, just confident; I went to an all black school, a white kid.
