I was an amateur wrestler, which I loved. It was my passion, but I started really late; I was a junior in high school when I began.

The acting stuff is more important to me than actually being a big star.

It's much easier when you have your co-workers who are just, they're there in the moment. If you were out of the moment, you would feel odd.

Nothing can motivate me any more than I'm motivated.

I never excelled at one sport or had a very strong passion for anything other than wrestling and bodybuilding.

People look at me, and they have a certain perception, and they slap a label on me. The guy you saw in a wrestling ring is not who I am.

I didn't want to be a movie star, I wanted to be an actor. Because acting is what I fell in love with, and acting is what is still challenging for me.
