teacher writing creative
I remember telling my creative writing teacher that you never want to have a journal, because if you lose it, then someone's going to know all your secrets. And then she stopped using a journal, but I always write everything down... Anytime I travel, I try and fill up notepads.
children kids ducks
I was a 'Duck Hunt' and 'Mario' guy, and stuff like that. I was never technologically driven. I never had all the cool, new toys. I was the youngest child, I wasn't the only child, so I wasn't spoiled as a kid. And, we were on the farm, so we didn't have a lot. Also, with computers, I'm not very good with them. I just check my email.
long people car
I've always romanticized the late '40s and '50s - the cars, jazz, the open roads and lack of pollution. Now there are more vehicles, less hitchhikers, more billboards and power lines and stuff. People wrote wonderful long letters that took months to receive, and now everything is email.
style generations different
In the present time you don't really establish what you're going through, but after time it's declared something. Right now there could be some writers doing something expressing their thoughts in a whole different style that we're not aware of. This could be the 'in-between the notes generation.
school trying bass
I had done chorus before in school, but I was only trying for an easy A. I was a bass going 'dum dum da doo wop.
senior malta prom
When my senior prom was happening, I was in Malta filming 'Troy.
patient chatting
I'm not good at chatting right away. Women have to be very patient with me, I suppose.
balance acknowledge amount
A great amount of good is always evened out by a great amount of bad. I find it's best to acknowledge that weird balance.
borders bookstores hanging-out
I'd hang out at the Borders bookstore until it closed.
pages london brazil
I spill it out as fast as I can. I don’t really edit. In Brazil, recently, I wrote 70 pages. In London, 80 pages.
gossip age mouths
I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it. You see it happen, there's always the town gossip - 'Oh did you hear about so and so, or did you hear what went on in this household?' So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut.
crush hands able
I had to jump on the tractor and do my chores. I would have just killed to be in town, to be able to Rollerblade hand-in-hand with somebody I had a crush on. I just wanted to get off the farm, to find my outlet.
roles looking-good certain
I've been told I'm too good looking for certain roles, but that's okay. It just motivates me to go deeper.
car finding-yourself trying
Life's too short when you find yourself sitting in a car for four hours every day trying to get from East L.A. to West L.A. to Hollywood and then back to East L.A.
