Quotes
  • "(The highlight of my prom was) dropping my date off."
  • "It's a little weird when fans spot me while I'm driving in my car. Once, while I was stopped at a red light, a couple of girls hopped out of the car in front of me just to ask for my autograph. Before I could give it to them, the light changed and they rushed back to their car. But at the next red light, they hopped out again to get it."
  • "I'd love to do a film like 'Jerry Maguire'. I think Tom Cruise is underrated. Just because he's 'Mr. Million-Dollar Smile', people don't give him the respect he deserves."
  • "I live with two of my friends. It's like a fraternity house. We've got people coming and going all the time. It's like a hostel."
  • "Tony Geary and Maurice Benard are my inspirations."
  • On his marriage: "I've never been more sure of anything in my life."
