I prefer my friends and family not to watch anything I do.
— Cole Sprouse
It's easy to get swept up in the trappings of that sort of lifestyle, but I've been doing it for long enough that I know how easy it is to fall victim to that sort of arrogance and cockiness that celebrity culture can bring about, in young men especially.
I focus on different parts of the body on different days. It's usually high-intensity circuits and a lot of body weight stuff.
There's an incredible amount of loneliness that comes with child stardom because you're isolated from your society.
I had a really, really hard time working with Aniston because I was so in love with her. I was infatuated. I was speechless - I'd get all bubbly and forget my lines and completely blank. It was so difficult.
We went all dark and grimy for 'Riverdale.'
It's no new narrative to say that when people get out of child stardom, they oftentimes rebel in very serious ways.
I'm a firm believer that if you're nervous before you go into a scene, it means the scene is going to be good, and it means you're invested in making something special.
We chose NYU because their arts program was great, and they're a prestigious institution, but really because you're in a city. You're involved in a completely different way of life. You didn't feel trapped within a campus or in a bubble.
A lot of Disney Channel actors and actresses, when they stop working for Disney Channel, they have a real aversion for not wanting to be remembered by Disney Channel.
There were points I wanted to stop acting. We got so busy and didn't get to see our friends a lot, and I was like, 'Wow, I'm kind of over this.' But then we started really having fun on 'The Suite Life.'
My grandpa was a geologist, and I always had this fascination with not only earth sciences but ancient history.
I needed to see if I could have fun in a project again, and 'Riverdale' was a project that ended up looking like a tonne of fun.
I take a lot of pride in my photography.
My brother and I have a profound nostalgia for our youth, and I think people need to come to terms with things leaving and being gone.
Because 'Friends' is on Netflix, there's a renewed interest from that... People can call me 'Ben' on the street, and I will turn around.
At first, when I received the script for the 'Archie' show, I was immediately turned off.
I just survived a Disney career without singing. I don't want to, like, fall back in. I feel like I escaped, so if we could avoid it for as long as possible, that would be great.
It's pretty inappropriate of fans to think they can expect any kind of narrative from showrunners or writers or actors. I just don't think that's the way you should engage with material that you're watching as a passive audience member.
I studied archaeology.
I get on Facebook, and I love it. Then one day, I get a message that says, 'Your account has been deleted.' I click on the link to see why it was deleted, and it says, 'Your account has been suspended because members are not allowed to impersonate celebrities.'
I was having a dilemma whether I wanted to return to acting at all because I was coming from this sort of agency-less childhood career, and I'd never made the choice to go into acting.
I had a really complicated relationship with acting for a long time.
I anticipated we would go to college, and then we would fade out - that was kind of what we wanted at the time - but social media hung onto my brother and I, and thankfully, fans hung onto my brother and I, and I think it's one of the reasons that this reemergence can come back with a little more strength, and I'm very thankful for that.
We have to be thankful for what we have. A lot of kids would love to be in our situation, and we realize that.
Twins work really well in the industry because child labor laws dictate a baby, as an example, can only work for, like, an hour a day.
When I would read the 'Archie' comics when I was younger, I was rooting for Betty and Archie way over any alternative.
Arrogance sort of destroys that nervousness because you're having a bunch of people flatter you and tell you you're awesome, and it keeps you from striving as hard for the kind of validation you seek from a good show.
Part of the reason I went to college was that I wanted to fade out peacefully: show everybody I had gone through something that was quite challenging and difficult but did so with grace and poise and got an education.
I am a sucker for that childhood romance narrative.
I remember, my very first day at a new school, a bird pooped all down my back. It was like any other day of school except everyone was like, 'Oh my God, you're from the movie 'Big Daddy,'' and I had bird poop all over me.
