QUOTES
- Josh: on his thoughts of Russell Brand hosting the VMA "I think he's brilliant and his humour's on a different level. I think sometimes it's lost in translation... on some people... unfortunately. If I had hair like that, I'd grow it out, no question. And the tight jeans, that's just good-looking - you want something that hugs your privates." edit »
- Josh: (On what 1994 was like for him, (in a interview with CRAVEONLINE) ) Power Rangers, Bugle Boy jeans, lights in my shoes, Spice Girl lollipops, Joey Lawrence CDs, flannels, ripped jeans, Hootie and the Blowfish. I was really young during that time but in many ways the great thing about acting is you can reinvestigate parts of your brain that might have otherwise gone dormant. So for me it was trying to think back to what were adults talking about in 1994. I remember everyone was talking about Pulp Fiction. That was sort of the definitive thing. So I really tried to work off of that, and reintroduce a lot of the language that we used in the early '90s, which wasn't really different but instead of like now where we might be like looks good or that's tight, then it was that's mack crazy son. That was what people said so I just had to refamiliarize myself with it.
edit » - Josh: (on his Personal philosophy) I've always understood how amazing it is to be a kid. When I'm 30, I'm still going to be playing video games and eating pizza. edit »
- Josh (on how Nickelodeon has been handling his career move): I gotta be honest. They've been very, very supportive of my choices as an actor. I grew up with Nickelodeon and I'm forever in their debt. The audience has made me the actor and the person that I am today. And they're the reason why I'm able to get in the room and audition whereas under other circumstances perhaps I wouldn't have the privilege. I appreciate it. And I'm granted one of the greatest gifts which is to be able to make kids laugh like on a daily basis and clog up your Tivos. So, they've been really supportive. I was 15 when I did Drake & Josh. This isn't a movie for kids. As I said, when I was 15, the audience was 12, 13, and now I'm 21 and they're 18. So I think this is right in their alley. If they are too young I think it's up to their parents' discretion and they'll see it in a couple of years on DVD, hopefully. Or rip it off the Internet illegally.
edit » - Josh (on if he was a fan of the Hip Hop era before filming The Wackness): Yeah, I love hip hop music. I think it's ingrained in you. And it's music of my generation. It's poetry set to a beat. It used to be Sugar Hill Gang and Run DMC. And all of a sudden Biggie came around and '94 was like this introduction of music that was really talking about the everyday struggle and people that were just trying to get out of the ghetto and make some money. And talking about real shit. Now I don't really get into the generic rap music, talking about pimps and hos and bling and what not. But, I feel like if you don't like old school hip hop, you're not a hip hop fan to me. edit »
- Josh: (on what he talked about for his stand up comedy acts) Crazy families and a neurotic mom. I used to always start my act with 'I was born during the great depression….my mother's'. Write it down. I don't copyright anything. edit »
- Josh (on working with Method Man on "The Wackness" in Orlando Sentinel) That first day on the set, when he's got the look, and the [New York] accent, and he's passing a joint to Method Man [who plays a Jamaican pot supplier] was just surreal edit »
- Josh: (on how he felt about Sir Ben Kingsley in ACEDD Magazine)
It was an incredible honor. I can't think of a greater learning experience both personally and professionally than working with Ben Kingsley. He was so nurturing and was always an inspiration. Frequently after a long day I would be exhausted and I would look at 'Sir Ben' and he would just be getting warmed up edit » - CS: I read that you did stand-up comedy when you were 8-years-old. Did you do that in clubs and everything or just for family and friends?
Josh: response to interviewers questions No, I did all the big clubs in New York: Standup New York, Caroline's Comedy Club, Catch a Rising Star when it was around, and Gotham. It was sort of my jumping off point and it set a tone in my life of carving out a niche for myself because whether it be acting or school, or whatever I've never really fit in, and I've kind of had to make things work for myself. I've been lucky enough that people have dug it. My mom and I were reading "Backstage Magazine," I was nine years old and there was an advertisement for Sid Gold and Gold Star Entertainment and I went and met with him and he was sort of the quintessential agent, orpheum circuit type gypsy guy and he's like, "Look I need kid comedians, so if you could be funny, I'll put you onstage." I just thought of what I knew as a human, as a kid, my mom, I'd make fun of my mom to people at school. edit » - Josh: On his prowess with women, in People magazine
I was at a party, and I said to a girl, 'Do you have a busy day tomorrow?' and she said, 'Why? Do you want to take me out?' I said I was just making small talk. I'm always getting in my own way.

Josh: If I thought a kid was going to make fun of me, I might make fun of myself first. edit » - Josh: ( favorite line from the Movie Snow Day) Please, I don't want to die with my pants down! edit »
- Josh: (on why he felt he needed to lose weight) There's only the funny fat guy parts or the heavy friend. It's an unfortunate stereotype, and I wanted to have the chance to play roles like this, to have more quality. And I wanted to be healthier. edit »
- Josh: (Thoughts about being a role model) I don't really understand why I should be a role model, but I know that kids do look up to me, so it is my responsibility to motivate people and be inspiring. I hope that I can do that for kids. edit »
- Josh: Gratuitous fat jokes always hurt, no matter what. Even if you've gotten most of your life, and even if it's in the context of the script, it makes you feel bad about yourself. edit »
- Josh: It doesn't matter what you look like, it's who you are that matters. edit »
