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

In the back of my mind, I can never forget this could be gone tomorrow – and at this point I think the odds are against me…

I don’t understand how some people would want fame so bad that they’d go out and get negative attention to earn it.

I think if a girl is easy to talk to then that’s the first thing I look for.

The one you actually get to do when you’re filming, and then the one you wish you would have done, afterward.

Sometimes you grow out of love.

There’s no point in being scared of just trying.

Certain things just happen and it’s undeniable, you just go that way. But I don’t have a specific path I’m following, I’m just playing it by ear.

Whether it’s going out and auditioning for the play or trying out for the basketball team, you have to explore your boundaries and see where you really want to go and the only way you can do that is to break out of your shell.

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.

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’ve been in a couple of weddings where the coolest people that were the most day before so mellow and then the day of the wedding freaking out.

The coolest toys don’t have to be bought; they can be built.

Firemen have the coolest toys ever!

She’s the coolest person in the world…I don’t date what the person does…
