Quotes

  • James: I don't get a whole lot out of the romance thing, but I realize girls do. So I'll go out of my way to make them feel romanced. []
  • James: (On his favorite holiday) I always have the most fun on the Fourth of July. You don't have to exchange any gifts. You just go to the beach and watch fireworks. It's always fun. []
  • James: (On the best and worst day of his life) When I moved away from home to North Carolina to start shooting One Tree Hill. []
  • James: (On one of his pet peeves) When I'm trying to go to sleep and there are little noises, like a clock ticking or a fan squeaking, it drives me completely insane. []
  • James: (On his message to aspiring actors/actresses) It's not an easy game. You've got to be a dreamer to do it, but you've also got to be willing to work hard. I always believed if you put the work in you'll get the benefits. This is an unstable business, also, so don't let that be the only thing you depent on. Make sure you have a fall-back. But most important, don't give up. []
  • James: (On one of his high school dances) What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then, senior year, someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her, but it worked out fine. []
  • James: (About watching TV while sitting on his bed) It is the most comfortable place in my home. []
  • James: My New Year's resolution is to stick to a good workout plan that will keep me healthy and happy. []
  • James: I wouldn't say that I'm very similar to the character of Nathan at all. Both of us have had very different upbringings and backgrounds. I have a competitive nature like the character of Nathan. That's really easy to draw from when I'm acting; that's probably the biggest similarity. []
  • James: What do I like in a girl? I like a girl that likes me, a girl that knows how to smile and see the bright side of things. A girl that makes me a better person. []
  • James: (On 'One Tree Hill') I get to do a lot of my own work in the basketball scenes. I've played ball my entire life and I asked them to let me give doing my own stunts a shot. I guess they liked what I did. []
  • James: We tell them they're not therapy, but if you get eight, 10, 12 people together, they can help one another. []
  • James: It is definitely a challenge to play Nathan, but the more different he is from myself, the more interesting the character becomes for me. []
  • James: My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else, practice makes perfect. []
  • James: I enjoy catching our show whenever I can. It does get very weird to watch myself, it's always been that way, but at the same time, it's part of my job to see what kind of job I'm doing and to get a perspective on where I'm taking the character. []
  • James: Although we hardly see each other off the set, Joy and I get along well when we do. As far as the marriage between Nathan and Haley, I think they are young and will see the reality of the situation eventually. []
  • James: I was definitely suprised to see the success we were having as a show after being secluded in Wilmington. We don't get a whole lot of perspective on the way things are going while we are out there, so it was nice to see that you guys are supporting us like this. THANK YOU! []
  • James: The whole Haley-Nathan marriage deal was a pretty good twist huh? I hope we got all of you with it. That particular story line even suprised me when I read it, it's a good one and it'll provide for some good stories to come. []
  • James: The cast gets along pretty well, it's a good work environment. I hang out a lot with Brett Claywell, he plays Tim Smith on the show. We play plenty of basketball. []
