I think we have a unique voice we really want to get out there.
That's what protagonists do. They work hard, they have a conflict, they overcome the obstacles.
(The disaster) definitely freaked me out. (I was) just thinking, 'We're right here, close to the ocean. Man, stuff could happen here any day.' And it really did open my eyes on how lucky and blessed I am, and how much I do want to help those people.

People usually don't know what we're here to do. They think we're going to be in costume or something.
There isn't a sequel in the works. I didn't say there couldn't be one, I just said one isn't in the works.
Normally I avoid movies where the aliens look like humans. It's cheesy.
It was just the adventure of creating this thing that we had hopes and dreams about. When we made 'Napoleon,' it was just that feeling of what was going to happen.
I'm just trying to find more acting jobs, keep busy looking for work,
We created Kip and Napoleon from ourselves and from people we knew and experiences we had. It was fun to celebrate the nerd within me.
I know at some point I would like to take on more dramatic roles.
I don't think I ever will do a sex scene because of my religion and my personal standards.
I've always liked Kate Winslet. She's pretty, smart, and talented.
I don't have a lot of experience to draw from. I had my first kiss when I was 17 or 18. The second time we kissed I got a little excited and I was wearing these really loose shorts that didn't leave much to the imagination. I tried to angle my body away and divert her eyes by saying, "Hey, look at the stars." From then on I wore tighter jeans.
