I don't think you get many chances to break the mold of who you are.

I was very headstrong about wanting to keep my name when I moved to Los Angeles. But casting directors would call my managers and say I was perfect for the part, but my name wasn't marketable - I was a young guy, and had the old man name of Gary. I kept losing jobs because of the name not being marketable, so I changed it to Garrett.

When you're young, you can be mislead by older people, who know how to manipulate you.

I don't think you get many chances to break the mold of who you are.

When I moved to Los Angeles, my goal was to gain respect - whether it's in big or small projects - and as long as the work is good I'm happy.

People tend to think that if someone is a movie star, that automatically everything is easier and there is less pressure. But all of them still keep that pressure on, are still inspired and still care about the work.

I still feel my generation is split on their attitudes.
