I frequently gravitate toward characters that have some urgency or soul.

I like anything that is like an obstruction, something that I have to act through is good.

If all the circumstances of acting are made to easy, then there's no grain of sand to make the pearl.

It is very possible that I could have ended up on 80 acres of land by myself, and fallen in love at a distance with a gorgeous woman I could never have been with.

Im okay with being unimpressive. I sleep better.

I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.

You're looking at each and every potential corner for an air bubble to escape. Absolutely! You're on the best of your game.

I hope we don't see no paparazzi today. Because I'm still getting acquainted with these jogging pants I threw on. Like, 'That's not my statement!'

It's hard for me to grasp the concept of somebody being nervous when I'm talking to them.

I tried softball and soccer. I just didn't take as much of a liking to it as I did sitting in a movie theater and watching people recreate a story, and doing it myself, as well.

I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.
