Quotes By Jesse
"Just because you're on a hit show doesn't mean you're rich. I still have roomates...We play in a band."
"I work out five times a week. If my shirt's off all the time on national television with 20 million people watching, I want to look my best!"
"I'm making out with girls on TV all day, so I can't be hanging out with a girl that get jealous too easily."
"I like girly girls. I like a girl who is confident, intelligent, likes to have fun, is open to experiencing new things and is into music. If a girl's not into music, I can't hang with her very long."
