There are a lot of movies I've done that come and go, and don't really establish a growing fan base.

I was a total athlete. I loved sports, but when I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete, I realized I wanted to be in movies.

At times it's been weird because for the first phase of my career, I've been really well-known for a character that I was so not like and a character I never anticipated doing.

I did this TV show, which was my first job ever. It wasn't a real acting part. It was like this promo for this sitcom and the main actress was meeting three different real people and then she was going to decide who was going to be on the episode.

When 'American Pie' happened, I was so lucky to get that opportunity and I just tried to do a good job in that genre. But the films that inspired me as a kid were, like, Malcolm McDowall in 'A Clockwork Orange.' He was my hero.

Most actors feel only one way. We're just grateful to have a job.

So the first thing that I thought about was, 'How is this car going to handle?' But then after I'd been driving with it and practicing with it and I accomplished that, then I just kind of sat back.

I'm the youngest of seven kids.

I thought I was a good kid.

I tend to go for women with common sense. Being down to earth stands out more than looks.

I'm still trying to figure myself out as an actor.

When I was maybe like, under 10 years old, I was kind of like a maniac.
