motivation hero opportunity
I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half, and since then I've asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That's really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.
halloween party hero
When I was eighteen, River Phoenix was far and away my hero. Think of all those early great performances - My Own Private Idaho. Stand by Me. I always wanted to meet him. One night, I was at this Halloween party, and he passed me. He was beyond pale - he looked white. Before I got a chance to say hello, he was gone, driving off to the Viper Room, where he fell over and died. That's a lesson.
hero trying roles
I've never tried to reach a certain demographic of an audience or try to say: OK, now I'm going to do this type of film to transition myself into more adult roles. Or a romantic hero. Or whatever it may be.
crazy fall hero
People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall.
cute hate meat
I hate it... I feel that when I see myself and these other cute faces, I'm just part of this meat factory.
girls ignored last night
I went out last night and all the girls ignored me.
alone baby definitely rubbing
I'd definitely say that when I'm alone with a girl, I'm doing the baby voices, all that stuff, rubbing noses, the whole thing.
dad nose welcome whatever
Whatever I did would be something they'd already done. I mean, my Dad would welcome it if I got a nose ring.
certain high
I always feel like I'm on a roller-coaster, but I never want to get off! There's a certain high you're always on.
alongside business cinema greatest growing martin pinnacle privileged standing truly wanting work
Growing up in this business and truly wanting to be a part of the world of film, I'm a truly privileged person standing here today. But I must say, the pinnacle, the pinnacle of all that has been to work alongside one of the greatest contributors to the world of cinema of our time, and that is the great Martin Scorsese.
dreading inside plan putting shaking slip worried
I was dreading winning. I didn't even plan a speech-I was worried that I would slip up or do something horrible. I was shaking in my seat, putting on a posed smile. Inside I was petrified.
bit dirty expecting hurt sharon
I was expecting a little more from ol' Sharon y'know? I wasn't about to get down and dirty with her, so it was a bit of a let down. Actually, she hurt my lip.
run sure swinging
I wasn't sure at first-I didn't want to run around in tights, swinging a sword.
