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 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 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.

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.

And yeah, my handicap was down to a 10 when we were at the thick of it. I trained for six or seven months, golfing every day for six hours, seven days a week, with eight trainers. It was intense.

I just wish the crowd I was associated with was more passionate about what they were doing and less consumed with the commerce of the art form.

I understand why marriages break up over golf. I can't even talk about my own handicap because it's too upsetting.

I'd love to go to school and have a normal life, but I don't see any professor at Yale being able to teach me more than Steven Spielberg.

I used to dirt bike a lot. I can't do that anymore. Can't eat a whole lot of chocolate anymore, either. I can't be in 'Indiana Jones' and be a fatso!

To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.

The best movies are simple.

I drink protein shakes nonstop - three or four a day - and I run a lot, so you get rid of the bad carbs and keep the rest so you have the energy to make it through.

I've spent more on my Dodger tickets that I did on my car.

There's only so far you can take a relationship before you got to get into things that are too serious or over the top.

There's a form of selling out. It's necessary. You have to become edible for people in Texas. You have to become edible for the Christian right, for mass audiences.

I enjoy what I'm able to give my family.

None of my friends were ever as broke as I was.

Every actor chooses their story at the beginning.

My family's lineage is five generations of artists who never made it.

Agents are used to the parents pimping. They're not used to the kid pimping.

Hey, I'm a human being also.

I got accepted at Yale but never went.

You can go to college when you are 30 or 40.

I never get in trouble.
