Personal quotes:
"Kissing
Claire was good. I was really nervous, though. I hadn't kissed many girls in
real life."
Freddie Prinze jr about his scene with Claire Danes in the film "To
Gillian on her 37th Birthday"
"It only takes 30 seconds
to pluck my eyebrows, but it hurts. I have to tweeze them in the middle once
a week. Otherwise, I look like Bert from Sesame Street. I've been doing it for
11 years."
[on his career choice] [Acting
is] the only thing I'm good at. I know how to create and make people feel something.
Honestly, if I didn't do this, I would just have some minimum-wage job in New
Mexico, and I would go out on the weekends and make just enough money to pay
my insurance and pay for a couple beers, and that would be it.
[on Valentine's Day] I think it's
kind of a crock, and here's why: I believe we should be doing that every day
[...] make your girl feel special whenever you can. I'm a big big believer in
surprises. You've got to be romantic all of the time. Guys, you can hate me
or whatever for saying this, but you know what you should do.
(On children) "I will be
the best father you've ever seen. I will win father of the year everytime. And
Sarah will be the most fantastic mother."
