Ashton Kutcher: It's funny because I was actually…I did “Saturday Night Live” before I ever met Demi. I did the cover of “Rolling Stone” before I ever met Demi, and all of that kind of hit right at the same time. So “Saturday Night Live” came out, the cover of “Rolling Stone” came out, “Punk'd” really started getting mass media attention, and then I met Demi. We started, you know, spending time together, which got more attention even yet.
Do I rejoice in the fact that I can't leave my house without being followed? Um, no. I don't think that anyone would like that. It's a little creepy. But I wouldn't have it go away, because if it went away, I wouldn't be in the position that I am right now. No…you know what? I would have it go away, if I could still be in the position I am right now.
Do you have any plans to work with Demi?
Ashton Kutcher: We work together on life everyday and that's the biggest job that anybody has.
Is “Punk'd” really over?
Ashton Kutcher: I started “Punk'd” after we did “The Butterfly Effect,” and then I decided to end it before we did the press junket. You know what it is? You keep it new or it's through. And I felt like the format of the show, we've done it. We've seen it. We've done a bunch of different people, and if it wasn't going to be new, I didn't want to do it.
I get bored really, really quickly, and I think that there's other things that we can do. And you have to remember, the MTV audience is an extremely fickle audience. They like things for this long [holds up thumb and pointer finger in a inch gesture], right? And then they find the next cool thing that exists. That's how that place works. So if you can't change it, and make it new, and make it different, and make it the new hot thing, don't do it, because you're going to fall off the cliff.
If you could change anything about your past or present, what would you change?
Amy Smart: I think that as you get older, you learn to live in yourself more securely. [You] become more confident and sure of who you are. I think that life is about growth. You continue to grow and progress, hopefully. I think in [your] past, you go through your insecurity stages, and not feeling good enough, or accepted or whatever, and to know that now, and to go back would have been pretty cool.
Ashton Kutcher: I think that we can change our past. I truly believe that, and I believe that it happens now. I think this is the lesson of the movie: the actions that we make in our present life have the ability to change our past. If you have a relationship that's un-mended from our past, the opportunity's right now to go back and fix that. I think that I wouldn't change anything other than the things that I'm actively changing.
