A lot of people my age are so hyper. I like hyper people.
Around 15, 16, I started not really wanting to be famous. I just loved acting, loved trying to make emotions clear to people.
Basically, man, I just love myself.
Being a kid in this business, you naturally grow up a lot quicker, and it could drive someone crazy if they're not careful.
But i think it would drive me more crazy to just go do a movie that I didn't believe in, you know?
But I'm not like sad, depressed miserable person. I guess sometimes I give off that impression.
But one out of ten is the really good one, something that I really want to fight for. And I usually have to fight for it.
But we all kind of knew we were doing a really good movie while we were filming it.
Detroit was kind of a random thing where it was like a chance to be in a rock 'n' roll movie.
I don't have anything against action blockbusters... I just have something against action blockbusters that have come out in the '90s that are sort of schlocky.
I don't think anyone has a normal family.
I enjoy playing people that are totally different than me.
I had a hard time going back to school after T2. I really didn't want to go to private school.
I have a little brother. He's actually living at my house right now. He's going to be 18.
I like the piano a lot better 'cause it seemed like I got a lot more instant music out of the piano than I did with the guitar.
I pretty much grew up in Pasadena just like any other kid who grows up in Pasadena.
I really didn't want to get pigeonholed.
I was like, man, I love this. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I was scared I was going to have some weird shape to my head and I was pleased that I didn't.
I'd be a liar if I said I had a normal family.
I'm a real lazy, slow kind of person.
I'm actually very happy in my life.
I'm not really ashamed of who I am, but publicity for me is not really about letting people know who Eddie is inside.
I'm not this tortured soul or anything.
I'm so embarrassed by that album. I don't even own it myself.
I've always wanted to do a movie that takes place in the 70's and was about rock and roll and getting high, like Dazed and Confused or Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
If I was in a room with a bunch of skinheads talking about racism, then I would be disturbed, but after we finished a take, we were normal people again.
It hasn't been a totally smooth road, but in the whole span of things I feel like a very lucky person.
It's really hard to find good movies, and that's pretty much what I try to find, good movies.
Little Odessa. Of all my movies, it's the one that I still really love when I watch it and I'm pretty happy with what I didn in that.
Maybe part of it is that I'm a little bit crazy, and another thing is, my mannerisms have always been... I'm not like a hyper person.
People aren't born racist.
She called me like a week later and said it was for T2. I loved The Terminator so it was pretty much like a dream come true.
Some people are kind of themselves, and some people are straight-up actors that can meld into a lot of different parts.
The first willing concert I went to was Aerosmith when I was like 14.
There's the art house movies and the action movies and the chick films. I think the same thing's happening with actors.
When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.
Who wants to go to school and be asked for, like, 20 autographs?
