When I first started, I just wanted to work. I wouldn't necessarily do anything, but I'd pretty much almost do anything at the very beginning.

I think by eighth grade I knew I wanted to be an actor. I'd done church plays and stuff, but my first actual acting class was in eighth grade. I was obsessed with it.

I do tend to gravitate to the more dramatic side of things. I love feeling intense emotions when I'm acting. I just love characters and stories with conflict.

I've grown so much, not just as an actor, but as a human being.

I don't really seem to gravitate to romantic comedies.

I saw a lot of people have success handed to them that then exploited it. They didn't protect it or cherish it.

I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man, or any of that. I'm a character actor.
