I had to learn how to become a real actor, I had to suffer and be rejected and face that 100 times just like every actor. It wasn't like someone handed it to me

We as actors doubt up until the last minute that we can be this person. So everything matters, the more work you do, you get in touch with who the character is.

I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.

When New Kids became really successful, I got a lot of offers to do parts in movies and TV shows, but I was really busy, so I pretty much turned everything down. But I always knew it was something that I would eventually put some energy into.

Your resolve is unquestionable. Your character undeniable. Your history unparalleled. You've inspired us, all the way. You will again today.

There's a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don't execute well

You can't dictate if a character's going to come off as sympathetic to an audience. I just tried to play it as honest as possible.
