I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

I mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it.

Yeah, September 11 happened and all my friends were like, 'Let's join the military!' and I was the only one who actually did.

The only thing I know that makes me feel comfortable is to know as much as I can. Not like what the shots are going to be, but knowing enough about my character that I can forget those things. And more specifically, my lines. I have to know my lines. I have to know something really well, so I can forget it when we're doing it. And there is comfort in knowing, "Okay, there's not another stone that I could have overturned."

Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.

It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.

I used to eat a whole chicken every day, for lunch. I did that for four years. But it got tiring - go to the store, buy it, eat it. It’s a mess.
