“There’s a way that you can throw negativity out there that seems rebellious. But I’ve always taken pleasure in a different kind of rebellion, which is putting a positive spin on everything, trying to enjoy myself at all times.”

I’ve always been taught to try and look my best and that’s probably my main influence, I’m not looking to influence fashion anymore than the next guy, but I do try and look my best when I’m out and representing my movies.

I’d love to take a year off and travel the world under the radar. I would love to do it really low key. I wouldn’t need to stay in fancy hotels or anything; I just want to explore – but I don’t know how I’d do it. Would I shave my head to try and go incognito? Ha ha! I’m not telling.

Things happen differently when you’re actually here, so you can’t put out a general guideline that’s gonna show up in text and be interpreted. There are no rules. Just be yourself.

A girl should be really easy to talk to. When I lose track of time because we’ve been talking, I think that’s really fun.

I don’t think there are any rules in real face-to-face relationships or interactions.

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.
