I trained more than anybody ever in a golf film ever made – my swing is pretty hot.

It’s kind of a self-help book for the ‘hood, if there is such a thing,

I think, my generation, it’s hard to have hope when you got a $700-trillion derivatives debt to pay and a bubble about to explode and $500 trillion worth of GDP.

I turned down twelve films last year… Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

Every actor chooses their story at the beginning.

Agents are used to the parents pimping. They’re not used to the kid pimping.

Nobody strives to lose.

In my parents’ generation, rebellion was pop culture. It’s not anymore.

I don’t even really know what it is I do for a living – the level of insecurity is very, very high. You’re making a lot of money, getting a lot of accolades and positive...

I’m kind of bi-polar.

I come from French Cajun Jewish people.

You can go to college when you are 30 or 40.

To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.

I’m very picky and I’m in a situation where it’s a big crossover.

I like the dark, mysterious, maybe even gothic type girls. They have to have a good personality too! I’m very picky!

I want my audience to know me for my work, not because of who I’m dating or what drugs I’m on or what club I went to.

I never get in trouble.

If I had more recreation time I would be able to step back and reflect on how life has changed. But it has been like a constant… boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

None of my friends were ever as broke as I was.

I think every young actor in Los Angeles went up for that role. It was between Frankie Muniz and me, and he pulled out, so I got the role.

When you look at golf films before us they’re all – garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you...

I’m not that smooth.

I don’t have many actor friends.

My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money.
