"When I turned 18, I
skipped my party to take my girlfriend on a road trip. It
turned out to be an amazing birthday."
"I was eating burritos
with this girl and she asked me to be her prom date. How could
I say no? We went and had a great time."
"I'm quiet, and I don't
enjoy watching horror flicks, so am I like Zeke? No way,"
"I don't think there's
a problem with being a teen idol," he says. "If
that happens to me, I'll be happy to deal with it."
"I'm looking forward
to the excitement that comes with sharing your life with one
person, instead of throwing it all out to the wind or keeping
it all to yourself," "But I couldn't handle it at
this point, I'm too immature."
You know what? I'm really
attracted to British women," he whispers. "There's
something innately proper about them. However badly they behave
their accent is so cute that it makes up for everything!"
"Well the first night
we met, we all got totally trashed and stayed up all night
talking about everything from relationships to existence.
Then at about 5am we went swimming in this lake..."
"There were all those
beautiful actresses from The Faculty and we were too shy to
take of our trousers! You know, everyone was really timid
on that set for a while. In fact, we were pretty lame all
in all. And yet on screen we were meant to be defying aliens
and getting all Samurai with paper slicers."
"I play Zeke, who's the
coolest guy in school. He's super-smart but a classic under-achiever
who opts out and sells homemade drugs from the trunk of his
beat-up car, and basically has fun riling all the teachers."
"Misunderstood! I was
born on 21st July so I'm on the cusp, but I reckon I'm way
more Cancer than Leo. I guess people perceive me as eccentric.
In my daily life I try not to live how normal people live.
I love to do my own thing."
"The thing is I can't
separate me growing up over the past two years from me being
in the movie business because it's all happened at the same
time. It's a funny thing with these Hollywood starlets though.
You see them on the screen and you expect them to float into
the room on a cloud, wearing something floaty and diaphanous,
and speaking perfect poetry! And it's just not like that."
"I'm looking forward
to finding someone in life that I can be truly happy with
and relate to on all levels - someone I can bounce my stuff
off. Right now, though, I'm not searching for that. I couldn't
possibly handle it at this point. But I still like knowing
it will be out there sometime later"
"Hope is the most exciting
thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out
there, it will come. And even if it doesn't come straight
away there is still that chance all through your life that
it will."
"You know, I'm not really
any good at working out when people are flirting with me.
And I think I'm too flirtatious with people I'm trying not
to flirt with! What I am good at is making people feel uncomfortable.
I don't want to but it always ends up happening!"
"I'm very 'spur of the
moment'. I'm always trying to think of fun things to do to
create a memory."
"Well, I'd been clashing
with my dad for years. There was always a lot of friction
when I was a teenager and wanted to leave home. It didn't
get to fist-fights, but it came close. I remember being really
mad at him when I was about fours years old and I said, 'When
you're old and crippled and can't walk - and I'm older and
stronger and healthy - I'm going to pick you up and dump you
in the middle of the street and just leave you there!'"
"Not any more. About
a year or so ago we were having a great conversation and for
the first time I said, 'Dad, I'd probably never drop you in
the middle of the street you know.' And he took it as a great
compliment!"
"Amazing. It's like I'm
viewing my family with new eyes. Everyone had grown in a different
direction since I left but I can see that it really works
for them and we are all happy as a family
"My dad once told me
(probably to get me to do something!) that life is a series
of problems and the joy comes in fixing them and not letting
them mount up. I'm not that good at sorting out my problems
- sometimes they get me down and I end up buying into them.
There is nothing really that bad about my life, but everyone
has problems and if you don't have those great huge problems,
you'll make your own because it's human nature to be unsatisfied.
What I've realised is that if you're open to it, life can
be so god damn beautiful."
"I don't know whether
I'm blessed or cursed,"
"I didn't get to go through
that starving artists' bit. I missed that world. They get
to bixch all the time. It's fun."
"The clubs here are pretty
boring. People are checking each other out all the time. It's
just a big game." Well, there was that incident at Planet
Hollywood. We were donating a jacket from The Faculty, and
first they announced Usher--and these girls just started screaming.
Then they announced me, and I figured they weren't even going
to know who I was, but they went crazy, which was pretty cool.
Of course, later on the same trip, we were somewhere else
and the same thing happened when they announced Usher--but
nobody said a word when I came out."
"My friends and I make
short films. We pretended to rob the Dairy Queen where our
friend worked, but someone thought we were real thieves and
called the cops! Soon, the cops burst in with guns drawn!"
"Ever since Poltergeist
terrified me when I was 12, I can't watch horror films,"
he says. "I'm a real wuss."
"We made 16 episodes
of Cracker and I loved doing the show, but unfortunately no
one was watching us."
"It's not scary to make
a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and
see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the
terror bombards you."
"It's tough when in between
takes they yell, 'Cut!' and everybody's going about their
business and nobody thinks to uncuff you," "When
I got out of there, I had no more skin on my wrists. . . [or]
dignity!"
"Be honest with yourself
and lie to everyone else."
I'm quiet, and I don't enjoy
watching horror flicks, so am I like Zeke? No way,"
"I felt like I was under
water, like I couldn't breathe People were closing in asking
for autographs and I sensed danger, but how do you defend
yourself against an autograph?"
"I should be getting
photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant
owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove
to my kids that once I was an actor!"
"It came down to two
of us. I had to go in and read, then he went in, then I went
in again It was nerve-racking. I was up for 'The Postman'
[which opens December 25], and I read for it a couple times,
but the casting lady told me I was too tall for the part --
taller than Kevin Costner."
"You could say I'm that
way, too. Neither of us likes authority figures much. But
we're also different- he loves Guns N' Roses, and I'm into
more bluesy music, like Tom Waits."
"Well, maybe. But the
first scene we shot was of me sitting on the toilet, talking
on a cell phone- not too sexy!"
"My style changes depending
on the character I'm playing. I'll find something that I really
like about the way he (character in Here on Earth) dresses--like
these softball shirts. I've been wearing them a lot."
"I think I'm pretty understanding.
Relationships are so complicated though. When I'm with a girl,
I'd rather talk about her than me. I'd rather know more about
her. I already know about myself. If she wants to know about
me, I'll tell her about me. I can be quite open..."
"It's about sex,"
Hartnett says. " That's it." (About his movie Town
and Country)
"No. I don't have a very
good body. Some of those guys work out every day. I work out
maybe once a year, so they've got me beat." (would you
take your shirt off for a scene) * DAMN *
It's a tough job. It's a really
tough job when you have to work with somebody who is just
repulsive to look at. Somebody has to do it. I tell you, I
mean, you have to wear blinders to be able to look at a face
like that. No, Josh is great and a really, really sweet, sweet,
fun guy to be around. - Michelle Williams on Josh
"Well people think I
was born in San Francisco, which is not accurate. I don't
know where that comes from. I might have said something near
that at some point. Like my mom lived in San Francisco, but
I wasn't born there."
"My character is the
cool Camaro-driving, feathered-hair guy," says Hartnett.
" He's kind of the mysterious outsider, but everybody
accepts him because he's so freaking cool. He's certainly
not troubled. He's like a happy dog."

"My H20 co-star, Josh Hartnett...is the best! I loved
working with him. He's a great actor and not a bad kisser!"
