Explaining to Star Magazine why he doesn't mind being mistaken for Marilyn Manson: "What would you rather have, people thinking you're a dorky kid from The Wonder Years or a satanic rock star? It's way cooler."

[on first learning about the false rumor he was Marilyn Manson]: I had no idea who Marilyn Manson was at the time. So I'd spoke to one of my friends at school who did know who he was. It became a progressively more entertaining storyline amongst me and my friends.

[on the common rumor that he's Marilyn Manson]: I think it really was the very first Internet rumor and because of that it doesn't die.

[on his child-star past]: It is who I am. There was a time when I wanted to sort of push it away and say, well, I want to be successful in this world on my own and not have to use that. But this is who I am. It was six or seven years of my absolute prime years of growing up.

[on getting emails asking if he's Marilyn Manson]: I reply and say, 'No, of course not'. It doesn't mean much to me. I find it humorous. To see the creativity and imagination of some people is pretty interesting. It doesn't upset me, nor does it offend me. I just take it as a joke.
