People aren`t born racist.

But i think it would drive me more crazy to just go do a movie that I didn`t believe in, you know?

When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I`ll get girls and be famous.

I really didn`t want to get pigeonholed.

If I was in a room with a bunch of skinheads talking about racism, then I would be disturbed, but after we finished a take, we were normal people again.

I don`t think anyone has a normal family.

Who wants to go to school and be asked for, like, 20 autographs?

But I`m not like sad, depressed miserable person. I guess sometimes I give off that impression.

Little Odessa. Of all my movies, it`s the one that I still really love when I watch it and I`m pretty happy with what I didn in that.

I`d be a liar if I said I had a normal family.

Maybe part of it is that I`m a little bit crazy, and another thing is, my mannerisms have always been... I`m not like a hyper person.

I have a little brother. He`s actually living at my house right now. He`s going to be 18.

I`ve always wanted to do a movie that takes place in the 70`s and was about rock and roll and getting high, like Dazed and Confused or Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

A lot of people my age are so hyper. I like hyper people.

I enjoy playing people that are totally different than me.

I had a hard time going back to school after T2. I really didn`t want to go to private school.

It hasn`t been a totally smooth road, but in the whole span of things I feel like a very lucky person.

I`m so embarrassed by that album. I don`t even own it myself.

I`m not this tortured soul or anything.

I was scared I was going to have some weird shape to my head and I was pleased that I didn`t.

The first willing concert I went to was Aerosmith when I was like 14.

Detroit was kind of a random thing where it was like a chance to be in a rock `n` roll movie.

It`s really hard to find good movies, and that`s pretty much what I try to find, good movies.

I`ve always liked women. But I don`t want somebody who likes me because I`m famous. I like girls who are intelligent and who are kind of quiet like me.

I never thought I`d reach 21. I used to feel that was old, but growing old doesn`t scare me anymore. I just want to have done something super special and have had someone to do it with.

I enjoy playing people that are totally different than me. It`s a challenge to get inside these people`s heads and wonder why they would have these beliefs.
