There are so many people in the world with so many different perspectives. But ultimately, at the heart of it, they're people.
The more attention you give to the paparazzi, the more it just, like, validates everything. . .
I can't handle the paparazzi. They're everywhere. One of them was in a dumpster trying to take my photo the other day. It was crazy!
Honesty is most important, and it's difficult when you're young and single and sort of figuring out your own life.
It's weird, but I don't feel like think I deserve any of the attention. There's really nothing but one audition for a Disney Channel movie that separates me from 2,000 other brown-haired, blue-eyed guys in L. A. , you know?
I'd love to take a year off and travel the world under the radar. I would love to do it really low key. I wouldn't need to stay in fancy hotels or anything; I just want to explore - but I don't know how I'd do it. Would I shave my head to try and go incognito? Ha ha! I'm not telling.
I try to be green as much as I can and it's hard. I feel like I'm never doing enough. [. . . ] For me as an actor, there's only so many things I can do, and this is a way, through a film, to teach and hopefully get the message out to young kids.

For the perfect accomplishment of any art, you must get this feeling of the eternal present into your bones - for it is the secret of proper timing. No rush. No dawdle. Just the sense of flowing with the course of events in the same way that you dance to music, neither trying to outpace it nor lagging behind. Hurrying and delaying are alike ways of trying to resist the present.
For me the first great joy of traveling is simply the luxury of leaving all my beliefs and certainties at home, and seeing everything I thought I knew in a different light, and from a crooked angle.
I don't think there's anything better than hearing your favorite band live.
