My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I'll be forever grateful.
A little fight in you. I like that.
[I'm] an extremely private dude and all this is happening so damn quick. I really haven't had any time to rationalize it. But it's nothing that I'm going to let freak me out or take control of me or my thoughts or my real life.
I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.
I didn't want to raise my child in Hollywood.
From 18 to 22, I was alone, living in L.A. with a bunch of friends, partying.
It's a little uncomfortable doing love scenes in armor, but, you know, when the heat's on, the heat's on.
You learn more about yourself through your child, I guess.
I do keep pre-occupied.
It's odd, that's why I don't like telling people I played field hockey. It's real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, 'Oh, you girl!'
Does it depress you? To know just how alone you really are?
Nobody panics when things go “according to plan”. Even if the plan is horrifying!
Let's put a smile on that face!
But the paparazzi are quite malicious and vocal and really rude, ... And they camped outside of my house, so I started throwing eggs at them, lobbing them at rocks next to them.
