His looks:
I don’t think you’ll ever have to worry about me playing the
stud. I’m pretty far away from being
voted the sexiest man alive. (You’ll be surprised Josh!)
The cast:
We’re really tight- its like having brothers and
sisters. There are some ups and downs,
but we get on really well.
Ambitions:
I’d love to do a guest appearance on The X-Files. I’ve wanted to be on that programme for five
years, and I’ve tried to get on it, but I think my efforts are completely
doomed.
His sister:
I’m the one who went with her when she went shopping for her
first bra. She’ll tell me about some
boy she dated over the weekend and kissed and I’m like, Aisleagh, jeez!
Being a school rebel:
Yeah, I was just a pain in the
arse, really – I was argumentative. I
couldn’t get into the day-to-day life.
It took too much time and there’s too much to remember. I became exhausted trying to keep track of
it, so I lived outside it all. I was
just making the classroom experience harder than it needed to be.
Shooting Gossip:
They had to switch the schedule
around to accommodate my days on set. I
kept putting myself in everyone else’s shoes – I don’t know how forgiving I’d
be if I had to switch my schedule for some kid to come up at
weekends. But it was one of the best
working experiences of my life.
Being a sex-symbol:
It’s strange to think of
yourself as a sex symbol – I certainly don’t.
You’re in trouble if you do.
Those people [waiting outside his hotel] came to see me cause they watch
the show and like Pacey. I appreciate
that, it means people like what I’m doing.
But it doesn’t have anything to do with me personally – they’re not down
there because I’m a fantastic guy (that is exactly where you are wrong Josh!)
His parents’ divorce:
It was a difficult few years, but I had a strong
relationship with my mother, which helped me get through it. I felt as much of a screwed-up outsider as
Pacey. The hardest thing is that there
was so much shame involved; I didn’t understand that you could feel personally
responsible and socially ashamed – all cause there was a stigma against divorce
and single parent families.
