"There should be an AIDS testing center in every American city. C'mon guys, this needn't be so complicated. What's horrible is that three or four people can get infected before some jackass goes to a testing facility and finds out that he or she has AIDS. "

Interview with Nylon Guys Magazine, Fall 2007 |
"Most of my roles are in independent films that don't gain me a lot of exposure...My choice of roles might not make sense to some people, but I'll continue focusing on the quality of the project, not the size of its budget...I want to work with directors like Scorcese and Bertolucci, and this is the way to achieve that."

"No...because
I only have sex with one person. I
can't have sex with everybody. Well,
I'm sure I could, I'm 21, but it's
never been something I've been aspiring
towards. It's not like I wake up in
the morning and go 'I'm going to be
sexy today,' and walk around and try
to attract as many people as possible."

"I've

and I like it a little bit more now.
I wanted to slit my wrists when I first
moved there. For three years I lived
at the Highland Gardens, which is a
hotel in Hollywood. So I pretty much
pissed away every cent I made as a
kid on hotel rooms."

went to Toronto with my manager [Paul

"Yeah,
probably half of my friends are gay
and probably half are straight. Most
of my representation is gay. Most of
my close friends in L.A. are gay. I
couldn't care less what somebody does
when they're in bed with somebody.
It's not something that interests me
- unless I want to have sex with them.
I have much more fun at gay clubs than
I do at straight clubs. "

agree with what he [Eminem] says. But I acknowledge his opinion.
Whatever makes one feel better about him/herself... whatever floats
your boat."
"I'd have to say that one of my favorite films is "FOUR DAYS"
because I played a character that I'd never portrayed before."
I've known
Yasmine [Bleeth] for a long time. We've worked together before, so I'm
really happy to work with her again. Casper [Van Dien] and I are big fitness
buffs so we work-out together. And Victoria [Principal] -- well, she's the
best. She's "Mommy."
"Some of my favorite actors are Anthony Hopkins and Jodi Foster.
And no, I don't have a girlfriend."
"The last
CD I bought was NWA."
"My younger
sisters called me Keby when they couldn't talk very well and couldn't
say my name. And all my friends call me Ziggy for Zegers."

TC: Do
you have any favorite bands?
KZ: Um, it switches from day to day. I'm kind of into the whole
rap thing right now, like Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and all
that kind of stuff.
Actually,
Subway is my favorite food. Subway, and I like Jamba Juice - their
drinks. I also like Fetuccini, steak, basic stuff. Pizza pockets
are great, too.
I don't
read much, but my favorite book would be Solitary Blue by Cynthia
Voight.
TC: What
are your hobbies and interests, apart from acting?
KZ: I golf a lot. I work out a lot. I like to go watch sports
as much as I can.

"Our parents
like hanging out with us and we like hanging out with them. It's
not your typical parent/child relationship; we're more friends."
"Everyone
goes through stages where they don't know what they really want
to do. For me, it happened when things started really slowing
down; I went through a whole year of auditions and didn't book
anything."
"There's
nothing, to me, that compares to actually working on a set."
"I
was used to being in films where I was hanging around with dogs
or monkeys, or playing basketball...Four Days was a pretty hard-core movie, which was more challenging
for me as an actor."
"There's
always work out there and I'm always going to keep trying. This
is my favorite thing in the world to do and whether I have to
try a little bit harder than other people or whatever, I'm always
going to stick with it."
