Not that I know of. I mean, I get along with them, but if there is, I wasn't invited either.

You're part of the whole Leo posse...What's the big secret about him?

At an interview once, this guy had pages and pages of questions about him. If people want to do an article about Leo, they should call him. We've known each other for a while, we're good friends...and that's all.

Has watching Leo deal with the hype turned you off to fame?

For me personally, results aren't exactly in my hands. All I can do is choose films, and hopefully, good ones come my way.

You have Ride With the Devil, The Cider House Rules, and Wonder Boys all coming out this year. Why work so much?

To be honest with you, I'm not necessarily in favor of working all that much. But they've been really great roles, so I couldn't say no.

You stay in a lot of hotels. What do you do to help you feel at home?

I travel with a little kit I have set up with a CD player and a VCR and pictures of my friends, my brothers, and my girlfriend.

So you have a girlfriend?

Yes.

What does she do? Is she an actress?

She's a sweetheart. [laughs]

You won't reveal the identity of your girlfriend? Why?

I'm just trying to learn how to do this whole press thing...what to protect and what to be open about. There are certain things I don't need to disclose. I don't owe that to anybody

You'll never take her to a premiere if you'd be photographed together?

It doesn't mean that, no. I'm just not interested in revealing too much stuff.

What can you reveal?

I'll tell you how I met her. A little over a year ago, I was out to dinner with some mutual friends and she stopped by to say hi and was going to leave, so I had my friends ask her to stay.

How'd you smooth-talk her?

She sat down next to me and then I just started laying it on really thick. I said, "Oh, my God, you're the most beautiful girl, blah blah blah." I think she was kind of skeptical and amused by it.

And is she still skeptical?

Nah. I think we've talked almost every day since then.

What do you do to keep the fire lit?

I do the best I can. Like, I couldn't be there for her birthday, so I sent her a letter and some gardenias. I was really bummed I couldn't be there for her. And I feel selfish missing her birthday. That kind of sh-- only happens once a year.

I wish more guys felt that way. Why do so many guys just let things go?

It's like anything. You start to get lazy. But it's good to stay on your toes.

Yeah, it is. Because we both know what happens when you don't.

[laughs] Yeah. Sometimes I ask myself, Am I treating my girlfriend the way I would treat a guest from out of town? You'd be generous and do things for them. That's what I use as my barometer.

You don't smoke, eat meat, or drink coffee. What do you do?

I practice yoga. I have a private lesson in my room, actually, in about 20 minutes.

Boys doing yoga? I always assume a guy will think it's too femme...

You can't think of things like that. How people are judging you, who cares?

In what situation would you tell a lie?

Hmmm...That kind of question can set you up to sound really dumb, you know?

You think I want you to sound dumb?

No, I don't think you do. But I read answers to these questions and I cringe. I don't know. That's my answer.

Okay, I think you're off the hook...
