...natürlich auf Englisch. Ich bezweifle, dass ich die jemals alle übersetzen werde- und ausserdem sind die im original ja viel schöner ;)

What Josh says...

"We [Americans] have a real problem of being ignorant on a lot of world politics , being so self-contained. But I think we need to pay attention to what's happening in the rest of the world, because, obvoiusly, a lot of people are unhappy with us."

... on Black Hawk Down:

"It's honest- the first movie I've been in that I want my friends to go see. I´m usually so embarrassed- by my performance and just beeing in movies- but this one is almost necessary to watch."

... on "Pearl Harbor":

"Pearl Harbor was meant to be a kind of a 40s-style drama- and it turned very much that. A lot of older people who were around during that time loved it, and a lot of critics thought it was an abomination. It´s probably somewhere in between."

...on Hollywood and fame:

"I love to reach out and slot myself into the Hollywood system and do my thing, but I don't ever want to be a fully-fledged member, someone who is a stable element. I don't want to be a pillar - I want to be a guy on the outside hitting it with a hammer."

"Hollywood doesn't need my love"

"I don't think there's any problem with being a teen idol if you can handle it, if that's what comes. It's such an insane business. There's this standard you have be in order to be a teen idol. I dunno if I could handle that."

...when he´s asked to take his shirt off:

"I'm not really the pumping-iron type. I'll shoot some hoops, but you'll never find me in a gym."

"No. I don't have a very good body. Some of those guys work out every day. I work out maybe once a year, so they've got me beat."

...on "The Virgin Suicides":

"My character is the cool. Camaro-driving, feathered-hair guy. He's kind of the mysterious outsider, but everybody accepts him because he's so freaking cool. He's certainly not troubled. He's like a happy dog."

...on "Town And Country":

"It's about sex, that's it."

...on "Here on Earth":

"All the characters have some sort of conflict they're going through."

...on himself:

"I can't watch horror films. I'm a real wuss."

"Ever since Poltergeist terrified me when I was 12, I can't watch horror films. But it's not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it's real."

"My style changes depending on the character I'm playing. I'll find something that I really like about the way he dresses--like these softball shirts. I've been wearing them a lot."

"I think I'm pretty understanding. Relationships are so complicated though. When I'm with a girl, I'd rather talk about her than me. I'd rather know more about her. I already know about myself. If she wants to know about me, I'll tell her about me. I can be quite open..."

"I got kicked out of acting school, so I had to do something. Well, they didn't really kick me out; they just said I could leave if I wanted to."

"When I turned 18, I skipped my party to take my girlfriend on a road trip. It turned out to be an amazing birthday."

What others say about Josh:

Ridley Scott on Josh's acceptance towards the mixed acceptance of Pearl Harbor:

"[He has] A fundamental maturity and common sense that will take him a long way. He's essentially a kid, about the same age as my daughter. I can remember when I was 23. To be thrown into that degree of success so quickly is a lot to handle, and he does it really well."
