- On the most romantic thing he has ever done for a girl: I've done a lot of things that are semi-romantic and kind of cheesy with writing and that stuff. I designed a tattoo for a girl once and she got it, which I thought was pretty cool. We no longer speak. She'll always remember me, though, I can guarantee that.
- On why he doesn't really date: See, I don't do a lot of dating. I guess its kind of like everyone is always trying to set me up with somebody so we go out and hang out at a club or somewhere. I think dates are weird. Everything about a date is weird, especially if it's a new person you don't really know. You want to take them somewhere you think they're going to like but you don't want to ask that question because you want to look like you're in control of the situation. So I think dates are just weird in general.
- On the difference between himself and his character 'Aiden' on "South of Nowhere": I guess I would handle some situations a bit differently. He tends to be a bit more relaxed in certain situations. In the first season he's definitely got the bad hand in a couple fistfights, which I'm not a big fighter but I found that very unrealistic. I would hope that I would be able to defend myself a little better than Aiden does.
