I like watching old stuff. I like old Al Pacino movies. 'Serpico.' 'Dog Day Afternoon.'

You know how in most teenage movies the girl meets the boy, they kiss, they have some type of fallout, then there's an awkward sex scene, and then they're together forever? And they say the perfect things the whole way? That doesn't happen in real life.

I'm not an emotional person. I don't use the emotion train that much. I just use the happy card.

I don't want to take the escalators. Give me the stairs that have the dips and the two old ladies that are blocking it and they've got an attitude, and they don't want you to go past them.

I'm not really good with explaining myself verbally, but I do it through music and other outlets.

I was definitely Theater-Band Geek/Straight-Up Boss Subgroup C. I was really into band and theater and super into music at the time. I loved performing arts, and that would definitely be my group.

Some movies are entirely too heavy, and some movies have no meat in them.

Acting-wise, I'm way more comfortable finding out new things about the actor in me and RJ as a person. There's a lot of new nuggets that I can dip in the sauce.

In life, my childish behavior is the good kind, not to where it's annoying and, 'Wow, someone sit him down and give him a bottle, give him a Pamper.' It's like, 'This situation is very heavy, but RJ is here, so he'll lighten things up a little.'

Calamari isn't too bad. That's what I thought cuttlefish was gonna be that. I've eaten octopus and eel and shark and sea urchin before, and - and those are good.

You fight the most with your brother. The first fight you're going to get into is with your brother. The first fight you lose is going to be with your brother. But nobody else better try to fight your brother. Only you can fight your brother without it being a problem.

Most people I talked to, they'd be like, your first is your worst, because you go on and everybody's probably done more than you, so you get that sense that they're on a whole different level. But they just made me feel like a piece of the family.

This acting is going to leave my stain. Not just my mark, because you can wipe a mark off. But a stain: it's going to take a whole lot to get that out, and that's how I'm going to leave my stain on this world.

I don't want to be forgotten or not have helped as many people as I can before I pass.

We didn't have everything we wanted when we were younger, but there was never a moment we didn't feel our parents weren't doing everything they could.

I would feel like such a behind if I went to California and made my family move, and they couldn't find their dreams there, too.

I feel like 'Power Rangers' as just a franchise and as a message in itself is taking down the barrier of putting a certain look to a certain thing, right?

Come on, we're teenagers. Everything that comes out of our mouth is something that's off. You never say something that's perfect.
