the lighter side of reese: "reese has a soft side especially when it comes to girls. id like to see him get into more relationships. its so funny to see how he reacts when he likes a girl."

close to his character: "no way i dont go around beating up kids or stealing their lunch money! and im not that stupid. but i think justin is a real character. he says what ever he wants.

that laugh: "it sounds like a chipmunk. and the weird thing is it wasnt in the script. i just did it myself when we were filming. i was goofing around and then the director said "hey do that again." so i did it. it just snowballed from there."

any advice for reese? "calm down"

"id rather walk." cause i was so embarrassed about the car.
