JARED PADALECKI QUOTES

[ From inside a van ] “Bye guys! I love YOU! not you, You!.. Yeah.”- Jared Padalecki
“Shut the door”- Jensen Ackles
“Right, I left [the Texas accent] in the green room. I should’ve brought it out. Yeah you know what, when I get tired or drunk it kinda sneaks out ‘Hey ya’ll”
“Is this the same girlfriend you met when you were doing ‘Cry Wolf’?”
“This is. This is the same girlfriend–Sandra McCoy that um, is going to be in ‘Cry Wolf’ with me, the 16th.” - Jared
“Well, so we’re glad your still together.”
“Well I keep her drugged for most of the day so she doesn’t have any free thought.”- Jared
“I don’t think we take ourselves very seriouslly. Growing up I used to see these people who were called like cuties or hotties or sex symbols and they’d be like ‘You know I’m sexy’ (strikes a pose) or like, ‘look how sexy and hot I am’ and I think it`s just disgusting and I think you gotta kinda be able to make fun of yourself you know. However you look is just a shell of who you are- it’s nothing really– to do with you."
“We kinda like bustin’ each others knees and you know kinda making fun of each other and we’d go out and drink... is that bad?” [About his relationship with Jensen Ackles ]

Has anyone else ever found it odd that their surnames are so similar? Just a random thought.
