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

If I could get myself to a place where I felt secure and I wouldn't have to kind of worry about money and I know my family would be secure, then I would leave the big studios so I could continue to make smaller films, and hopefully get to direct a few of them, too.

I'm more a fan of old-school films with really interesting stories and good performances. That's what I'd like to do.

I'm creating my niche. My niche is going to be "shirtless guy."

I really feel like indie films are where I learn to be a better actor, especially because they always give you a bit more freedom to collaborate.

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.

I love playing different characters. I just do. I want to play even more quirky and interesting characters and just something that people wouldn't automatically think that I would be. I want to go against the grain a bit and I'm hoping people will be open-minded enough to cast me in stuff that's going against the grain.
