I'm
looking forward to finding someone in life that I can be truly happy

handle it at this point. But I still like knowing it will be out there
sometime later.

quiet, and I don't enjoy watching horror flicks, so am I like Zeke? No
way.

very 'spur of the moment'. I'm always trying to think of fun things to
do to create a memory.
It's
not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain
and see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the terror

cute that it makes up for everything!

That
whole idea of American film being different from European film is
nonsense. It all depends on what kind of American film you're looking
at. There's a giant stretch of American films being made. Plus there are
different types of French movies. You know, people would say that Luc
Besson's movies are American ... so you go, 'Well, he's French'. Or that
Wicker Park is an American film, but the director Paul McGuigan's
Scottish, so ... where are we talking about here? Is it all about where
the money comes from, 'cos the money for this one comes from Europe. It
can't be that. Is it the star? Then where do you put Russell Crowe? For
me film is film and it doesn't have to do with borders or any of that
sort of thing.
I'm
trying to choose scripts by character. I'm not so worried about creating
a career. I want to create good roles, because ...I want to be the best
actor I can be.

try my hardest not to have any plans. It drives the people in my life
crazy. But I try to spend the majority of my time back home.
Usually,
when I meet a really pretty girl, right off the bat I start to feel
pretty insecure.
