To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

Brothers don’t necessarily have to say anything to each other-they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other.

I couldn’t deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y’know?

With Romeo and Juliet, you’re talking about two people who meet one night, and get married the same night. I believe in love at first sight-but it hasn’t happened to me yet.

I wasn’t sure at first-I didn’t want to run around in tights, swinging a sword.

I was dreading winning. I didn’t even plan a speech-I was worried that I would slip up or do something horrible. I was shaking in my seat, putting on a posed smile. Inside I was...

Most of the time I do feel like I need someone else when I’m alone. But I can still get by with just my own company and that makes me a stronger person.

Whatever I did would be something they’d already done. I mean, my Dad would welcome it if I got a nose ring.

I prefer ordinary girls – you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with...

Don’t think for a moment that I’m really like any of the characters I’ve played. I’m not. That’s why it’s called ‘acting’.

At first I thought I would have to put on an English accent and try a sort of affected Shakespeare thing.

I got attention by being funny at school, pretending to be retarded, and jumping around with a deformed hand.

I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I’d do little unexpected performances.

I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can’t or don’t do in my normal everyday life.

My God, no! I hate this whole hunk thing! I feel when I see myself in that, and these other cute faces, that I’m just part of this meat factory, like, Wow! Here’s the hunk...

This created world really helped me as an actor. It heightened everything, which made it more dangerous, more interesting and more liberating.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing all the hype that’s written about you… Who knows? In a couple of years, you might find me in the loony bin!

People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don’t want heroes; what they want is to see you fall

That’s the cool part of the business, going to different countries with your friends and having everything paid for by the studios.

I’ve been planted here to be a vessel for acting… That’s why I’m really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it’s going to be…

I want to be a jerk like the rest of my friends, and have fun, and not care about the consequences, but I just can’t now.

What I really wanted was to travel and see all the different animals that were on the verge of extinction.

There’s some of Romeo’s romance in me… I romanticise a lot of things in my mind…

I really like to have sweet people around me. I can’t stand bad asses. There’s too many of them, especially my age in LA. I like to get to know people, and you have to...

I’m probably not going to get married unless I live with somebody for 10 or 20 years. But these people (Romeo and Juliet) took a chance and they did it. We don’t have the balls...

I’m not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I’m definitely an individual.

I went out last night and all the girls ignored me.

I really don’t know what I’m doing… I don’t. It’s terrible. I go in there and I learn how to be like the character and do the best I can, and that’s all I really...

Anyone I’m with has to give me freedom. I like to be with someone who has character and style and someone who is very understanding.

I touched emotions I’ve never tapped in my entire life. I’ve heard people say, ‘I hope this movie doesn’t glamorise drugs…

I get a friend to travel with me… I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It’s hard to be alone.

Aviator.

The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it… It’s a great outlet. I’m not really sure who I am-it seems I change...

I like doing things that scare me. I went bungee jumping, but sky diving is just the sickest thing.

Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs…

My dad’s probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that’s not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.

Being dubbed as a hunk sort of annoys me. It gives me a yucky feeling.

The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.

School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn’t want to learn.

Enough is enough. The truth is our planet’s alarm is now going off and it’s time to wake up and take action.

I’m just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it’s taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is...

Love at first sight? I absolutely believe in it! You’ve got to keep the faith. Who doesn’t like the idea that you could see someone tomorrow and she could be the love of your life?...

I’d definitely say that when I’m alone with a girl, I’m doing the baby voices, all that stuff, rubbing noses, the whole thing.

My mother is a walking miracle…

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn’t mean I’m gay.

I remember the ‘Checkered Demon’. He’s this little devil with this three-foot dong that just porks everybody. And that wa s my idea of what sex was about. And I was, “Oh, wow! I can’t...

Growing up in this business and truly wanting to be a part of the world of film, I’m a truly privileged person standing here today. But I must say, the pinnacle, the pinnacle of all...

Dad, I really want to become an actor, but if this is what it’s all about, I don’t want to do it.

When I was doing ‘This Boy’s Life’ I wanted to be as old as Robert DeNiro and as experienced as him and have the same respect as he did in that movie.
