Liam:
'I hang out with the "nerdy" people -- they have a different sense of humor than most kids.'
'Be
yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. Also, don't expand into regions you're unsure of.'
'I like comedies and
action type films. I really do like comedies actually. I like to have a good time.'
'...I'm not comfortable with being
called a movie star and I don't want to talk about movies all the time,'
'I tried ostrich once, but I didn't like that.
We found Pringles there, that was good.'
'Two nights in a row, we were awakened by the sound of the snake scratching
at our door. We'd alert the night security man, but it would take a couple of hours before a snake wrangler would arrive.
They're not allowed to kill wildlife where we were filming, so the wrangler would catch the snake and take him outside the
hotel compound and release him. He just kept coming back.'

?I think I had this feeling that it wouldn?t work out,? says Aiken about losing the Harry Potter role.
?But it was fine. I would have just been Harry Potter from then on.?
?This is the kind of stuff kids like,? says Aiken,
a punk fan who aspires to play the guitar like Rage Against the Machine?s Tom Morello. ?It?s maybe not what they?re supposed
to like. But kids like it.?
?I remember somebody said, ?You yawned onstage. Nobody yawns,? ? recalls Liam. ?I
don?t know why, but I was just never worried.?
?Shortly after my dad died, my mom figured that if I could do a few
commercials,? explains Liam, hands in his jacket pockets, ?I?d get a college fund.?
?I think I had this feeling that
it wouldn?t work out,? agrees Aiken, in a fatalistic, Snicket-like manner. ?But it was fine. I hadn?t done much before, and
I would have just been Harry Potter from then on.?
?They weren?t, uh, too happy,? says Liam, grinning slyly.
He?d
like to start a band, he says. ?But everybody at my new school?s already got their own bands.? And the school play? ?Ah, um,
nah,? he shrugs.
So it?s no wonder that Liam says the role of Klaus Baudelaire?the indefatigable bookworm orphaned
by a house fire at the outset of A Series of Unfortunate Events?is ?more like me than any role I?ve played.?
Have
any good quotes Liam has said? Send them along!
