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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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