Personal Quotes

Everywhere you turn, you see me in a movie, and I'm sorry. At this point, people must be saying, 'God, Biggs again? Can't we get away from this guy?'

In high school, I got picked on. It's funny that I got tormented for what I'm doing now - the acting thing. People would see me in a Nickelodeon commercial, and I would hear about it the next day at school. Kids would say, 'Hi, TV Boy.' They heckled. I never got beat up.

[on the American Pie sequel] "It might be fun to make it with a lemon merigue."

"I'm still never able to order pie without the server giving me a little smirk or going back to the kitchen and saying 'Oh my God, the pie guy just ordered a piece of apple pie!'" - on the effects of his role in American Pie.

[on American Reunion (2012)] A lot of us had nervous butterflies because it had been a long time since we had seen each other. It took all of ten minutes before we were back to our old ways. We have a shorthand and a comfort level with each other that we can go that long without seeing each other and it doesn't matter.
