All that matters is that you have your friends who are your friends -- period.

• I hope people remember me for the kind of person that I am, not because of what I do.

• [if attend to his high school reunion] I would go back to my own high school reunion, but it would be hard. A lot of people hate me when I moved to Hollywood, like, 'You'll never make it.' But now I'm doing what I always wanted to do, living my dream.

• [on being pretty faced] It's like, thanks for the good genes, Mom and Dad. I wanted to work.

• I got a role in Pearl Harbor within a week of getting to L.A.. My head swelled. I spent all my money in two months and then didn't work for another six. Luckily, Grandma hooked a brother up.
