I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual. Anyone I'm with has to give me freedom. I like to be with someone who has character and style and someone who is very understanding. My God, no! I hate this whole hunk thing! I feel when I see myself in that, and these other cute faces, that I'm just part of this meat factory, like, Wow! Here’s the hunk of the month! This month we're shoving Leonardo DiCaprio down your throat! Isn't he cute?. Let’s put him on the cover and we'll sell so many more magazines. That's definitely not what I want to be, and I've tried real hard to get away from that whole situation. When I was young, I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything. I used to think, 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?' My love of performing goes way back. My Mom got me on Romper Room when I was five--It was my favorite show. But they couldn't control me. I would run up and smack the camera, and I'd jump around and do my little flips and routines. People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn. That's the cool part of the business, going to different countries with your friends and having everything paid for by the studios. The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva, into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out. The last thing I want to turn into is a fat Hollywood jerk. I was brought up without much money and I was happy. I don't think that I will strive for money or success and end up greedy or big-headed. That only leads to unhappiness. I can still be down-to-earth and do this job as long as I enjoy it. |
