Quotations

Acting classes, I guess, are good and I would like to maybe sometime take one. But I would feel like I was learning someone else's technique. I like mine.

I hate teenagers... I think they are the most annoying people on the planet.

I am keeping with tradition today. After I learned of my Golden Globe nomination, I went to the dentist, so today, let's make it the orthodontist.

When he received news of his Emmy nomination

I love it! It's awesome. I want to move here! I've just been promoting Big Fat Liar (2002) and hoping it's going to go really good. "Malcolm in the Middle" (2000) is doing really well here. I haven't been able to do a lot of stuff and I haven't seen that much though.

about Australia

I've never been to a party with teenagers. I think teenagers are so stupid with the choices they make.

Some kids are always getting into trouble or doing stuff, and I stay away from those types. I know I am no better than anyone else in this world. I'm just an actor, that's nothing special. But I'm not into anything bad. Just blackjack.

There was a scene cut out of Big Fat Liar where I had to wear a dress. This may sound kind of weird, but I really enjoyed shooting that scene.

Yeah, I like cars and basketball. But you know what I like more? Bananas.
