I was not the pampered baby, no. I'm five years younger, and my parents were actually very strict with me, more strict than with the other ones.

My parents were very unusual people, but it was more valuable to have other people say that than me.

I was on 'The O.C.' and had a small part, which wasn't very challenging. I was a bit bored, so I started shadowing directors and they finally gave me a shot. From there, it led to directing other television shows. I am trying to direct a feature film, so we'll see what happens.

My parents took me to a movie, and I remember wanting to sit apart from them for some reason. I wanted to be a big boy or whatever. I remember looking up on that screen. It was a movie about medieval knights. All I remember is saying, 'I want to do that. I want to make movies.'

I can't run on treadmills; they drive me nuts.

My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.
