I had someone very close to me say to me that hopefully I’ll have many more ups and downs, not in just my career but in life. If you don’t have that, you’re not taking enough risks.

For me as an actor, I use a lot of music. Music is a huge part of developing and getting into a certain mindset.

Video games and computers have become babysitters for kids.

I'm never going to be like, "Oh, this attention from women sucks." It's flattering 99 percent of the time.

My sister is 16 and I tell her to take risks. Really explore and meet as many people as you can. Do as much as you can before reality kicks in. Have fun.

I would do 'John Carter' again tomorrow. I'm very proud of 'John Carter.' Box office doesn't validate me as a person, or as an actor.
