But this is a little different. This is the adult acting. This is a different crowd. It's more work and more good work. That's it. People will have their opinion regardless.

I don't know, I just want to be happy. I could be in a hole somewhere. Or I could completely lose it and be some hippy living in the woods with my dad.

I hated golf when we first started, but a big part of the training process was falling in love with this sport, so I went on tour with the UCLA Team.

I think every young actor in Los Angeles went up for that role. It was between Frankie Muniz and me, and he pulled out, so I got the role.

I think there's a form of honesty, because I used to be very honest with the press, and then it backfired on me, and I understood it.

I trained more than anybody ever in a golf film ever made - my swing is pretty hot.

I want my audience to know me for my work, not because of who I'm dating or what drugs I'm on or what club I went to.

I'm very picky and I'm in a situation where it's a big crossover.

I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.

If I have enough money to eat I'm good.

My family, my parents are hippies.

No, I come for a hippy lifestyle, it's very open; my parents are both hippies.

No, I was an unknown when I walked in that room. He didn't know who I was from a fly on the wall.

Respected, I almost want to be revered, that's what I'm chasing.

There's never been a parent in my life.

We did this two-week boot camp before we filmed the movie. I got to know everybody in the group and we became friends. We got really tight throughout those two weeks.

When you look at golf films before us they're all - garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him.

You never really meet a human being until you live with them or know them for awhile, so this is my clown and they understand that and so these interviews don't bother them.

Latins are into clowns.

I would like to be George Clooney diplomatic. I just don't have the wherewithal yet or the inner serenity.

I can't tell you how many hot dogs I've eaten in my life.

A relationship to me is never about the romance.

I come from divorce. I'm only doing marriage once. It's not a game for me.

When a gust of wind hits a broken bone, you feel it.

People were going to geometry class and I was swimming through vats of chili on 'Even Stevens.' It was like a dream!

I go to sleep at night, and I feel like I just dreamed the whole day.

I think penguins are the most human of all the birds, which may be why people love them. They're cute, they stand upright and they look like they're wearing tuxedos.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

There's something about studying body language and non-spoken emotion - I know the innate response. But to really study it like a science would be fun.

I come from garbage.

I'm a little territorial and defensive.

Clubs are so lame. Nobody even dances at these clubs. They stand around and get drunk and they schmooze. There is no enjoyment factor.

You can't buy back your respect; you can't buy back your career. You only get one, so I don't want to mess that up.

I like the dark, mysterious, maybe even gothic type girls. They have to have a good personality too! I'm very picky!

I grew up around a lot of aggressive guys. My parents used to take me to AA meetings when I was very young. So I know aggression, I know insanity.

My dad is a motorcycle guy, not some Hollywood dude.

I was the only white kid in my neighborhood for most of my youth even in high school, so reverse racism was just as apparent as racism.

I'm a little territorial and defensive. I don't like having my space invaded.

If I had more recreation time I would be able to step back and reflect on how life has changed. But it has been like a constant... boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

I have a hard time with free time.

Old Americana vintage gangster stuff has a fantastical feel; it feels less dirty in a way. It feels like the opera of crime.

And I'm not a personality; otherwise I'd be coming out with an album, performing on MTV. All that stuff is possible and I can do that tomorrow. I just have no need.

I don't have to live this lavish lifestyle.

Probably the sexiest woman I know is my mother.

I'm just selfish. I have to be for what I do.

I am trying to impress myself. I have yet to do it.

I have a very nappy, curly head.

I don't even really know what it is I do for a living - the level of insecurity is very, very high. You're making a lot of money, getting a lot of accolades and positive criticism for something where you don't even know what you're doing.

They're very, uh, you know, I don't come from the suburbs and a jolly, Disney type of lifestyle. I come from something totally different. And they're cool and bare minimum so it's not always a money issue for me.

I turned down a scholarship to Yale. The problem with college is that there's a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you'll never be successful.
