Shane West

When what's around you - such as scripts, or like me being on the show and playing 18, now me doing this film playing 18 - it's kind of been what's been there for me.

To me, the 90's signaled the end of glam rock, the beginning of gangsta rap, and hopefully the beginning and end of boy bands.

I usually think in terms of music.

I've always been a big fan of Bill Paxton, and I met him at the American Pie premiere.

I've never had a day job. I've been very fortunate.

At the same time, reading an action script... It makes me wonder. Was The Matrix a good script? I don't know.

But, it is hard too, because I want to do another action film. Believe it or not, it was fun.

Sexy, to me, doesn't have anything to do with beautiful.

I found out some really cool ways to swing around the Winchester.

I had never really fired guns before, so this was all very new to me.

He's a guy's guy, so it pretty much became like the impressions - don't imitate Sean Connery's voice, and things like that. We were all kind of doing it towards the end of the film, anyway, and he was cool with it.

By my senior year in high school, I was friends with every group.

Sexy is kind of like an aura around someone.

I used to comb my hair back and do stupid stuff.

Girls started noticing me a little bit more in senior year, and junior year, and that was weird.

What I got out of it was a great experience working with great people and it becoming a tremendous - basically - a family at the end that none of us wanted to leave.

I'm going to do my best to do both and die of an ulcer at age 30.

We are meeting with Sony, and we have a couple of other labels that suddenly have interest and that's really great because none of them have actually heard our stuff.

I met some friends in the end of 10th, beginning of 11th, who were in the popular group so I finished off high school in that group and got to see both sides.

Because A Walk To Remember had come out and it had made money and I got a lot of congratulations at that time as it happens out there.

Because I could take this as an opportunity to create something that I pretty much guarantee nobody else was going to create in film.

I'm 25, but I was a kid on the set. But everybody was really great.

Right now, my favorite game is Resident Evil 2.

I'm not giving up acting, I'm definitely not going to stop.
