`I think I`ve always been half out of my shell and half in. Sometimes I can be extremely wild and sometimes I can be extremely shy. It just depends on the day.`

I learned how to skate vert in pools and stuff. Now I can get on a board and skate a pool. We did three months of skating and surfing. It was surfing in the morning and skating in the afternoon. Tony Alva was our coach. He`s not the easiest coach to work with. He`s not like a coach. He tells you how to do it, and is like, `Just do it. Just f-ing do it, dude!` In reference to his skateboard training for Lords of Dogtown (2005).

I don`t really want to do a teen comedy, you know? I mean, I just didn`t want to be in a bad movie, that`s all. In reference to his hesitance in deciding whether or not to play his character Matthew Kidman in The Girl Next Door (2004).

People would be so intimidated especially when I left the tattoo on and went out to a party. You`d get weird looks from everyone. Big, big macho dudes would be like, `Oh, excuse me. Excuse me.` I was like, `Yeah!` I mean, it was very strange for me to have people react to me like that. It`s unheard of for me and to have girls going, `You`re crazy.` And looking at you from across the party like, `You`re a crazy one.` In reference to his shaved head for Lords of Dogtown (2005).

When I got a lap dance, because I was 17, they had to put a massive pillow between me and the girl when she was grinding me. It was weird, yet pleasurable. In reference to working on the film _Girl Next Door, The (2004)_.
