“I think the most important thing for me in a relationship is honesty.”

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.

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 beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.

The most valuable thing I have learned from life is to regret nothing.

The thing is – fear can’t hurt you any more than a dream.

I have this thing about being acknowledged and accepted by institutions.

The single spirit doth simultaneously temper the whole together; this is the single soul of all things; all are filled with God .

It’s a very good thing to teach kids to finish what they started in the sense of fulfilling their commitments.

Always do the things you fear the most. Courage is an acquired taste, like caviar.

I want you to believe…to believe in things that you cannot.
