I kind of got my big break with 'The Princess Diaries' and during the press rounds for that everyone asked me: 'Did you always want to be a princess growing up?' And the truth was, no I wanted to be Catwoman.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Of course I adored and wanted to be Catwoman. That goes without saying.
I was too lazy to start a whole new story, so I just stuck a princess into the story I was working on... and The Princess Diaries was born!
Being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Growing up, I always liked Catwoman and Superman; they inspired me.
I am not a princess, I don't want to be referred to as a princess - I find that super creepy.
My parents would always tell you that I was the crazy princess growing up. I was a drama queen.
It's hard to see yourself as a princess because it involves a huge leap of the imagination and sort of requires you to believe you can be that, which is a scary, weird thing.
When I was little... I didn't relate to princesses. I saw Maleficent, and I just thought she was so - she was so elegant.
I thought, 'I loved Batman, I loved Spider-Man, I love all these characters, but Catwoman is really different from any other one.'
I wasn't terribly aware of Catwoman. She was a DC comics character and as a kid, I wasn't terribly fond of the DC comics characters. I was a Marvel boy.
