I've just always been a fan of really fringy, outsider things, and I've always been a balloon in the wind, in terms of where that takes me.

The hardest thing in the world to play is something close to myself.

I'm not a guy who likes cliches. I don't think that stereotypes and cliches are the end of the line, when it comes to a performance.

The idea of a regular-looking guy who is the lead of something - whether it's a movie or a show - is something that I really hope I can grow towards.

The actor in me always wants to link himself to a leader who's inspired.

I'm the kind of guy who would say, "Yeah, I'll do that!," and then, when it came down to it, I would be absolutely petrified. Those days have passed me by, but I would do it. If it meant that I was in a scene naked with a woman, or anybody romantic, I'd be into it.

Every angle that I looked at was somebody who I admired and was better than me. So it made me very afraid.
