Chivalry`s dead, sugar.

You know how in The Fugitive (1993), when Harrison Ford hears sirens, he`ll just subtly steer the other way? I do that when I see groups of teenage girls.

I wish I came from a more pure place. I don`t have something to say from the bottom of my soul. I just know how to take stuff I like and repackage it in a slightly different way.

I`ll never have a more life changing year than last year than this last one (2003- 2004). I could win an Oscar and it wouldn`t alter my daily life as much as The O.C." (2003) has".

I just graduated from high school, and I was working at Blockbuster. Not only did I get into movies while I was there, but I was putting away boxes and looking at the kids on the covers, it felt like windows into these seemingly perfect lives.

I don`t know anyone who`s going to see Grind 22 times in the theater. My mom. Some kid who has short-term memory loss and forgot that he`s seen it.

: I love surfing and I`ve tried to convince Josh into letting Peter and I having a surfing scene in an episode of The O.C..

I like to think I`m steadier on my feet with girls, but other than that, I`m similar to Seth. We`re into the same things, and we even dress alike. Sometimes the cast asks if I`m in costume when we`re rehearsing.

Well, I guess most people would only know me from The O.C. I did a few episodes of Gilmore Girls before that. I was also a client on a lot of lawyer shows.

I’m a fake intellectual. I’m not that well-read, which I’m insecure about, since I’ve got the intellectual niche.

Sure, I would. Although, next time around, I will be thinking a little more about schedule and how it’s going to work and what it means for my days of the week. When you’re going to do something for 1-10 years, it’s something to think about. We’ll see if I’m in a position, when that happens, to factor that in

... honestly, who cares if you get a good movie or not? I feel like I`m in semi-retirement already a little bit. I`m 27, and I have a house. I`ve decided that I`m happy with my lot in life.

Compassion and a sense of humor are the most important qualities to me. I never want to date that girl who everyone thinks is a b***h.

I`d like to write a little bit. If I could trade being an actor for a writer, I`d rather be a writer. But I don`t know if I`m I`m any good at it

I love movie-making. I`m interested in writing and directing, and I`ve dabbled, but I haven`t done anything I care to brag about. Yet.
