At first I thought I would have to put on an English accent and try a sort of affected Shakespeare thing. Brothers don't necessarily have to say anything to each other-they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other. Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'. Drugs? Every one has a choice and I choose not to do drugs. I couldn't deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y'know? I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone. I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can't or don't do in my normal everyday life. I prefer ordinary girls - you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with a girl, it doesn't mean we are dating.I want to be a jerk like the rest of my friends, and have fun, and not care about the consequences, but I just can't now. I was dreading winning. I didn't even plan a speech-I was worried that I would slip up or do something horrible. I was shaking in my seat, putting on a posed smile. Inside I was petrified. I was expecting a little more from ol' Sharon y'know? I wasn't about to get down and dirty with her, so it was a bit of a let down. Actually, she hurt my lip. I wasn't sure at first-I didn't want to run around in tights, swinging a sword. I'm probably not going to get married unless I live with somebody for 10 or 20 years. But these people (Romeo and Juliet) took a chance and they did it. We don't have the balls that Romeo did. I've been planted here to be a vessel for acting... That's why I'm really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it's going to be. I've changed. You can't help it. Your mind starts working in a different way. You feel really scrutinised by people. I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera. I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship. If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn't mean I'm gay. It was closer to manual labor than shooting a film. I always think of something Michael Caton-Jones told me: 'Pain is temporary. Film is forever.' It was the simple fact that there was probably not a cooler character on earth that I could play. It's a tough thing-you get in a situation where you feel you have to be perfect all the time and it sucks. It's easy to fall into the trap of believing all the hype that's written about you... Who knows? In a couple of years, you might find me in the loony bin! My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go. My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat. My mother is a walking miracle. The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am-it seems I change every day. The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor. There's some of Romeo's romance in me... I romanticise a lot of things in my mind. When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss. |
