Badgley: "All the little things you nitpick in your head, nobody really cares that much outside your head."

Badgley: "When it comes to the fame side of things. I don't think anybody, whether they're famous or not, could claim to understand that phenomenon or have any sort of power over it."

Badgley: "I don't think I could truly value human love until I developed divine love."

Badgley: "Money is... I'm very conscious of it because I have it. It's powerful, man. It can change you ever so slightly, ever so slowly, and all of a sudden you're addicted to a million-dollar lifestyle and you've got no choice but to make a bad movie."

Badgley: "If God exists, then we are spiritual beings, and we have souls, and we are noble inherently."

Badgley: "If you look to any of our art, whether it's music, television, movies, art, anything - we seem to be really looking for love, and often in all the wrong places."

Badgley: "I don't believe in auditioning. I'm a bad auditioner. I don't like it."

Badgley: "Like, if you are a celebrity, then anyone will let you be in a film or on a TV show, and if you're an actor, chances are if you are successful, you are becoming a celebrity."

Badgley: "You know, as an only child, you're kind of in a bubble, and there are all sorts of things about my childhood that I still can't really place."

Badgley: "I know this might sound absurd, but since I've been famous, I believe I've only been on two dates that would be considered a 'first date.' It's not the way I've ever really engaged in terms of romantic relationships."

Badgley: "I'm quite monogamous. Thoroughly monogamous."

Badgley: "Because I came into fame so early on, I've never done that. I don't investigate through the Internet about people who I know in the same way that I think most people do because I know what that's like to be on the other end of it. I think it gave me a certain kind of discipline, or empathy."

Badgley: "I'm grounded, I can say that. I can say that. I am, and it's great. I don't know where it comes from. But I've always been like that."

Badgley: "We live in a world that does not recognize virtually anyone outside of the white male or the beautiful white woman who has to be an object of desire and affection."

Badgley: "I want to be an actor - I don't want to be a celebrity. They are two different things, and people have forgotten that they are different."

Badgley: "For a while I didn't believe in marriage. But I think I do believe in having a love. I'm not saying only one love ever, but in having a good, solid relationship. I think that's possible."

Badgley: "I think pineapple is very sexy. It reminds me of bikinis and the beach."

Badgley: "When you come to L.A. as a kid with your mom, you're lured into doing things that you think are cool and fun and a good idea, but they're cheesy and awful. And recording a pop single was one of them."

Badgley: "All are essentially equal in the eyes of God."

Badgley: "In Iran, education is not a given at all. For decades, in fact, the Iranian government has been systematically depriving members of the Baha'i faith their right to higher education, attempting to bar their advancement and marginalize them in Iranian society."

Badgley: "I realize I stare at everyone, especially when I'm walking down the street. I'm just a curious person."
