Haley Joel Osment

That professionalism comes from what I've watched people do on the set. I'm just trying to be as respectful to the environment, as they have been. I think I still act like a kid. I just try to be as professional as I can.

Just keep learning from the role and not just go for the money.

My favorite place is Central Park because you never know what you're going to find there. I also like that when I look out the windows of surrounding hotels, it's seems like I'm looking out over a forest.

One challenge in this industry is that you adopt a certain look for a movie, and then people don't get to see the movie for a year!

Every character I approach, from 'Forrest Gump' all the way up to 'The Spoils Before Dying,' has a different set of requirements and always fascinates me.

With 'The Sixth Sense,' my dad and I discussed how this was not so much a horror story as a story about communication. I understudied with my dad, in a sense. It made a huge difference.

When I was a little kid, I loved imagining things. I'd go outside and put on a cape and just imagine I was somebody else.

I think a lot of actors will tell you that playing a villain can be more fun than playing the straight and narrow good guy.

I try to steer away from doing something that's just commercial instead of sticking to a good script.

It's kind of comfortable portraying characters who are kind of unsavoury and not so nice. That can be refreshing sometimes.

What attracted me to New York was there was an anonymity that I couldn't always have in Los Angeles, and it was easier to blend in there. The more successful you are, the less you are able to do that.

You always have to avoid working for the sake of putting yourself out there.
