These movies are like my kids. I just love them to death. Some of them go to Harvard and some of them can barely graduate high school.

I think some of the best actors ever were little kids.

I love kids, but they are a tough audience.

I'm one of the few people in Hollywood who actually had a good childhood.

Everyone's parents were famous actors at my school, pretty much! I think I went to school with Paris Hilton when I was three. That's what L.A. is, though - it's an industry town. You go to school with kids and you think, 'Well that's normal, they make movies.'

Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star.

A lot of my friends were a lot into theatre a lot earlier than I was. A lot of my friends were kids who were in The Broadway Kids and the kids auditioning for Gavroche in 'Les Miz.' I was never that kid. I was weaned on Michael Jackson. Not literally, because that would have been odd.

I used to like the Jonas Brothers, but only because I thought that they were good-looking, not because I actually liked their music.

When I went back to my old high school, all these kids looking at me like I'm the real big homie, the same way I look at Jay Z, Nas, or Dr. Dre. You would've thought Michael Jackson walked through that joint off the excitement that they had.

I just feel energized when I am around young, talented people. There is something about these kids that's amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me.
