Jonathan: My friends would probably describe me as silly. And honest. And that I think about things a bit too much.
(edit)
Jonathan: 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?!
(edit)
Jonathan: 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. IŽve taken classes on screen-writing and, of course, I read a lot of scripts. Writing is what IŽd really like to move towards. Right now, though, it just doesnŽt pay the mortgage.
(edit)
Jonathan: The first time someone asked me for my autograph was in 1982 when I was working on the soap opera One Life to Live. I was very surprised!
(edit)
Jonathan (when asked about the biggest influence on his life): That would have to be director Steven Spielberg, because he is a great filmmaker and he's someone who's career I would like to follow.
