“I like when a girl knows what she looks like and dresses to accentuate those features.”

I think the most important thing is to establish myself as an actor. As much as it’s a performing art, I’m not really a performer.

I think going through ‘Hairspray’ and other projects helped me learn about the business and life in general.

You gotta watch out for the moms.

Working out is my biggest hobby. It’s my Zen hour. I just zone out.

She was really spontaneous and fun and loved to make us sing and dance and paint. She was the coolest person in the world.

You see, Batman is a billionaire and there’s nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

Personally, I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm.

I wouldn’t change anything for the world, although the fame part of this [entertainment] industry is tough to handle at times.

The fans make the person a star.

I rebounded the ball and passed it – to the wrong team! They scored at the buzzer and we lost the game. To this day, I still have nightmares!

Life should be fun not dumb

I’ve grown up a lot, I’m on my own, and I’ve learned some valuable life lessons.

I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater.

I’m very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog – It’s the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!

Every time I go to big events, it’s a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn’t really be there.

As far as looking at myself on screen, I tend to pick out every single flaw that I could have or should have done better.
