Freddie Prinze, Jr.

I just want people to recognize my father as an artist who was way ahead of his time. He was a genius. His life just burnt out quicker than it should have. And that is unfortunate, but what is more unfortunate is that everybody focuses on the nature of his death as opposed to the nature of his life, which was so much greater and more important. ”

I follow my heart in almost every instance, and it gets me in trouble most of the time. But I don't care. I think that's the best way I can live. ”

I'm a full-time dad; I'm a part-time actor. ”

A car just gets me from A to B. I really don't spend that much time driving. ”

I did '24;' it was terrible. I hated every moment of it. ”

Shooting in Brooklyn is like opening a time capsule. Nothing has changed. Everything looks like it did in the eighties. ”

A couple of years ago, right before I made 'Down to You,' there was a moment when I questioned what I was doing and if it meant anything. I felt like I wasn't accomplishing anything, that the goals I'd set were silly goals. Finally, I realized I just loved acting. It was a very clear moment, and my whole life changed then. ”

When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school. ”

One person who has taught me a lot and inspired me a lot was Peter Falk. I was fortunate enough to have worked with him in this movie called 'Vig.' He brought my work to a place where it literally shouldn't have been for another two or three years. ”

I don't know if acting is genetic. Maybe it's environmental. ”
