A lot of kids do look up to us. But there are just as many elderly people to put us down.
For young filmmakers, Saw is a perfect film. It doesn't cost the GNP of almost every country of the world.
How important are the New Kids on the Block? If we thought us to be as important as people think we are, we'd be the biggest ego-trippers in the world.
I didn't get arrested to show off my wild character. People say it's a gimmick for all five of us to be different. That's ridiculous.
I didn't have big movie offers, or any big agents wanting to work with me. I had to go grassroots, start at the bottom and go on 150 auditions before someone finally gave me a shot.
I didn't think about whether the audience would care about this guy or not. My character didn't care about himself.
I go wild on a stage. Some folks have measured us an image. They pretend us to be saints. And that image is much tougher to keep up with. Because that's not who we are.
I had to learn how to become a real actor, I had to suffer and be rejected and face that 100 times just like every actor. It wasn't like someone handed it to me.
I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.
I'm a fan of good horror movies.
I'm not a selfish actor and I'm not worried about me looking better than anyone else.
I've learned not to expect anything other than focus what I can control, so expectations are always out the window.
If you are succesfull for 20 years, you can't expect to stay on the same level all through that period. A career has its ups and downs and in-betweens.
In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.
In the end I'm the only one who knows me.
It doesn't matter to me if it has a surprise ending or not. I usually go for the material or the project.
It wasn't until The Sixth Sense that people started saying, wow, man, you're an actor. People didn't think of me as the guy in a band anymore.
It's an experience for life to hang out with these four guys, and I think that the other four are feeling the same way.
It's not hard to keep up the image we chose. It's not hard to stay yourselves.
It's rare that I come across actors who are willing to work as hard on the material as I am.
Justin Timberlake just walked into a huge movie with Morgan Freeman, so he's either really insecure and feels unworthy, or he feels a sense of entitlement.
Look, we are a rock group. But you should see all those things in perspective. People tend to blow up everything into ridiculous proportions. And then the fun is gone real soon.
My whole high school experience was acting in plays and writing and directing and producing plays during the day and doing music at night.
The food in Europe is pretty disappointing. I like fried chicken. But other than that Europe is great.
There's a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don't execute well.
There's always been the intention to just have fun. I don't understand why some people are taking everything so damn serious.
Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice.
We never really felt a real level of respect. The fame was fantastic, but that wasn't that important to me, because for every million people that loved me I focused on the one that hated me.
We're entertainers, while people want us to be gods.
What's important is self-appreciation.
With the Internet, kids today learn things quicker than we do and they have everything there is to see, so you have to do more than just remake some old '70s film.
