Quote

(on joining the cast of Zoey 101 in the 4th season) I thought coming into the show so late would make me somewhat of an outsider, but everyone was so nice, and the cast was so welcoming, that I felt right at home. I had such a great time with everyone on set.

The people who support me are so great! They all say such nice things that make me feel really great. I love it when people compliment me on the way I act, because it is not an easy thing, and there is so much criticism out there.

I would love to work with Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
4
(talking about the coolest celebrities he ever met) I've met so many cool people! Samuel L. Jackson was such a nice guy. I've loved watching him since I was little, so it was really great to get to talk to him. Also, Andy Richter, Kevin Nealon, and Tim Meadows.
