At the same time, reading an action script... It makes me wonder. Was The Matrix a good script? I don't know.
-- Shane West
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.
-- Shane West
Because I could take this as an opportunity to create something that I pretty much guarantee nobody else was going to create in film.
-- Shane West
But I understand where the pop music industry comes from because with that, that helps things be more radio playable.
-- Shane West
But it's cool to be noticed for the smallest part of that.
-- Shane West
But, it is hard too, because I want to do another action film. Believe it or not, it was fun.
-- Shane West
By my senior year in high school, I was friends with every group.
-- Shane West
Girls started noticing me a little bit more in senior year, and junior year, and that was weird.
-- Shane West
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.
-- Shane West
High school was mainly me asking the counselors and teachers if I could leave to audition, but not booking anything.
-- Shane West
I basically went in a little early to Prague and on the days that we were shooting and I wasn't involved, I learned how to use two six shooters and a rifle, a Winchester rifle.
-- Shane West
I didn't have abandonment issues but he's a little bit more like me because Eli is a little bit more self-destructive and I'm not exactly that way.
-- Shane West
I found out some really cool ways to swing around the Winchester.
-- Shane West
I had never really fired guns before, so this was all very new to me.
-- Shane West
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.
-- Shane West
I used to comb my hair back and do stupid stuff.
-- Shane West
I usually think in terms of music.
-- Shane West
I'm 25, but I was a kid on the set. But everybody was really great.
-- Shane West
I'm also 25, so I was very fortunate to book the films that I did so I can try to get out of that, because you don't want to become stuck.
-- Shane West
I'm going to do my best to do both and die of an ulcer at age 30.
-- Shane West
I'm not giving up acting, I'm definitely not going to stop.
-- Shane West
I've always been a big fan of Bill Paxton, and I met him at the American Pie premiere.
-- Shane West
I've never had a day job. I've been very fortunate.
-- Shane West
My character is just going down and down, and something big is going to happen that's going to bring us all back up.
-- Shane West
Right now, my favorite game is Resident Evil 2.
-- Shane West
Sexy is kind of like an aura around someone.
-- Shane West
Sexy, to me, doesn't have anything to do with beautiful.
-- Shane West
So having that background and doing three years of a divorced family, it wasn't hard, it was more like therapy.
-- Shane West
To be honest, what I'd be more passionate about at this second would be music simply because I'm doing what I love which is acting right now.
-- Shane West
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.
-- Shane West
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.
-- Shane West
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.
-- 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.
