  • Quotes

    1. "Teen magazines keep writing that my eyes 'twinkle' when I talk. Look, I'm a guy. I don't twinkle, you know! You can say that my eyes 'sparkle' maybe, but not 'twinkle' alright? Got that teen magazine writers?!"
    2. "I want to direct, I want to be part of something creative, something with quality. My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself. I've taken classes on screen-writing and, of course, I read a lot of scripts. Writing is what I'd really like to move towards. Right now, though, it just doesn't pay the mortgage."
    3. "My friends would probably describe me as silly. And honest. And that I think about things a bit too much."

      New sitcom concept: Cafe Beyond. Jonathan Brandis, River Phoenix, and Kurt Cobain serve up the daily brew along with dead-pan sarcasm.

      So Jonathan Brandis is the kid in The Stepfather 2. I used to have a supercrush on him when I was younger. Damn shame he died so young.
