[On costar, William Moseley] ''When it's all over I won't miss the bruises he gave me to impress girls, or the occasional scar which will give me a story to tell my grandchildren, but I'll definitely miss the pranks and the laughing and all the making fun of each other. I'll miss the funky advice he gives me about everything -- football, girls, video games, clothes. Most of all, I'll miss having an older brother.''

It smashed into some of our lighting, and the crew yelled, «Skan-DAR!» ''

Ever since, it’s played quite a major role in my life because I went away for six months and I don't think a month or a week goes by without someone saying it in my house, so it’s had a big effect on my life and not for the worst reasons. It’s been good.''
