In fact, he threw himself out of a second-story window one day. He had the stunt me put down mats so everyone would laugh hysterically.»
«Just Like Heaven,»
«I'm definitely happy with the way my career has gone, the success; but I even feel glad that I've experienced some failure in my life. That gives you perspective and humility about this business; it's good to realize that you're always just one movie away from not being in Vogue anymore.»
«And I liked all that debate and mock trial stuff in high school. It's important to know how to make your points.»
