My ultimate goal is actually to direct and develop projects. I don't want them to be big projects with a lot of special effects because that's not really what appeals to me.

Honestly, I don't aspire to be a huge movie star. I really just fell in love with acting... Everything I do on-screen is very subtle.

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

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

It's really a great luxury to have, to be able to go from big films to indie films, too. Because I'm on the job learning as an actor, and independent films is where I'm learning to act.

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.
