I'm An Individual, And I Have Opinions.

I'm Still In The Middle Of The Transition. I'm Still In Man-boy Mode. And That Won't Go Away For A While. But It's A Fun Time To Be In, Because It's Very Rare That People Get To Work Through This Time. It's Rare To See A John Cusack In Say Anything. It's Rare That You'd Find An Actor Right In The Cusp Of The Child-to Adult Transition, Just Got Through Puberty, Just Getting Into A Different Way Of Life. There's Few Movies Like That, And Few Roles Like That, So It's Going To Be Tough To Pick And Choose. I Guess The Goal Is Good People, Work With Good People.

I'm Not An Adonis, That's For Damn Sure. I've Never Really Thought Of Myself That Way, And It Doesn't Matter To Me. My Favorite Actors Aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman Is A Flawed-looking Man; He's Amazing To Me. Tom Hanks Is Flawed-looking; People Love Him. Same With Gene Hackman.

We Did This Two-week Boot Camp Before We Filmed The Movie. I Got To Know Everybody In The Group And We Became Friends. We Got Really Tight Throughout Those Two Weeks.

Oh Yeah, I'm The President Of The Lucky Club. There Are So Many Talented People Who Don't Work. And The Crop Of Young Actors I'm Surrounded By Is Incredible. When You Have People Like That Around You It Amps You Up A Little Bit. Also, Emile Hirsch And Joseph Gordon-levitt, Or Guys Like Ryan Gosling. It's A Really Good Crowd And I Feel I'm Coming Up At A Good Time. But Equally, There's A Lot Of Good Young Actors Who Don't Get To Work Who Are More Talented Than I. I'm Just Lucky.

No, I Come For A Hippy Lifestyle, It's Very Open; My Parents Are Both Hippies.
