Sean on haters on the internet:

I kind of let it do its own thing, because a lot of times there's good and there's bad. I feel bad for the people writing the good stuff because I stay away from it so it doesn't mess with my head too much. But there's tons of bad stuff, too. There are a lot of haters in the world. I don't know if you've seen - who's that guy? Feel free to write about him, Bob_Vila on IMDB? We just think that must be the biggest hating guy that's out there. We don't know who this person is and he claims to know me and writes all kinds of things about me. It's like, "Dude, come on. You're going to spend all your time trying to rip me apart? And you're on MY page all the time writing about me and you have no life. Get a life of your own." There's this one guy in New York who was like, "The movie's going to be a bad representation of martial arts. All the moves are illegal." The thing is - the movie's not about tournament fighting. When you're fighting in the street, you're not going to worry about if the move's illegal or not. And then, of course, I'll bet $50 the guy goes and sees the movie. They'll sit there and tear you apart left and right and then they'll be the ones that get you up to $20 million opening weekend. I think people are bored and they need something to do. Every time someone's up high, people want to knock them down.

Sean on the commonalities between himself and his character Jake Tyler:
What we have in common is the fact that I too moved at an important time in my life. I moved right before I started junior high school when I was 12 years old. It was right around that puberty era when the friends you have are going to be your friends for life. I don't talk to those people any more because I was separated from them. I lived in Cleveland and I was a bit of an outcast at first. I was with kids who had been going to school together since kindergarten. In high school, I had my fair share of fights come my way. Other than that, my father's still alive and so is my mom but my parents are divorced, so I also know what it's like to come from a one parent family.

Sean on his preference for film:
SEAN: Not at all, I'm grateful for it. I'm not in TV anymore, I do film and that's what I always wanted to do. TV gave me a platform to have a film career. Now I get offered TV shows all the time and I turn them down because I only want to do film. I do wonder what would have happened with Life As We Know It. It was a great show that was highly critically acclaimed. ABC just didn't know what to do with it. At the time I felt burned by it but I had to pick myself up and do it again. Also, I would still be living in Vancouver if that was running. I like Vancouver, but it's hard to be in a semi-permanent reality - not knowing if you're going to get canceled today, tomorrow, next month, next year. You feel very displaced. With film, it's a three-month shoot and I'm home. I know where I stand. It's so hard to live in that world of "I don't know if we're going to be working in six months. I don't know if I'm staying here for a year of five years." I hated that feeling.
