I mean, a lot of teenaged guys in some ways are like Andrew. They're just kind of coming into that adult stage where they're a little confused. Well, what kinds of things confuse you? Uh, paying bills. That's confusing enough. Yeah, you gotta figure out how to, like, budget your money. I am just out on my own. Is it weird to be living alone at 19?

Well, teenagers in general, you know, get into things they may not be of age to get into. Was it drinking? Yeah. OK, all right, you figured it out. Did you get grounded? My mom caught me--I'm not gonna give an age because it might be too young for some--but she was cool about it. She asked me, and I came clean. She said that, if I had lied, I wouldn't have gotten to go the concert I really wanted to go to on my birthday. So how was the concert? The concert was Incubus incubus (ĭng`ky bəs), lascivious male demon said to possess mortal women as they sleep and to be responsible for the birth of demons, witches, and deformed children. , and they're my favorite My Favorite is an independent synthpop band from Long Island, New York.

super-psyched about it. And so she let me go but, in the end, I ended up
not being able to go because I couldn't get any tickets.
What's the worst thing you've done but didn't get caught? I don't know if this is the best interview for me. I might get into trouble. I don't think I've done anything that, uh, was really bad. My mom is secret CIA CIA: see Central Intelligence Agency. (1) (Confidentiality Integrity Authentication) The three important concerns with regards to information security. Encryption is used to provide confidentiality (privacy, secrecy). or something. She seems to know every single thing I've done. I don't know how she does it. You had to kiss a boy for your TV role. Was that awkward for you? It was very awkward. Very awkward. But it's all part of the job. I think it's worth doing just because it gets a nice shock out of the viewers. On top of that, it adds depth to my character. How do you prepare yourself for kissing a guy? Just think of a girl and do it. Do You have a celebrity crush? I'm all about the Olsen twins. Have you ever had the opportunity to meet them? I met them a couple times when they were younger and, obviously, when I was younger as well. But I recently met Mary-Kate at a club, very briefly. Not enough to really get to know her. Where was Ashley? I don't know, but maybe one day one of them will ... be my wife. Do you have a best friend? Yeah, my girlfriend. She's a college student. Her name is Eliana. So is Eliana jealous of the Olsen twins? No, in fact, she actually loves the Olsen twins. And she said if either one of them wanted to get with me, she would be all for it. I don't believe you. I swear to you. She has, like, a list of actresses that, if they ever wanted to hook up with me, she is totally cool with it--and the Olsen twins are on that list. Really? No ... yeah, it's really ... I don't take it seriously. I know the Olsen twins are never gonna fall in love with me. So, come on, it's all in fun. My girlfriend is pretty smokin'. The twins have got some competition. I'm not a big stay-in-a-relationship kind of person, but this girl is too special to let go. Aw, looks like we've just tapped into your sweet side. |
