To me, working out is literally like eating a meal or drinking water or breathing.

When I was a swimmer and I would lose a heat in something I was doing whether it backstroke or breaststroke, were two of my most strongest strokes, I would look at how whoever it was that won and beat me and think, "What did they do? What were... What were the qualities that they had that I can incorporate into my swimming to make me better?"

I look at some of my work and say, "Oh, that's where I can be better." I want to continue to grow and do things that do scare me. I want to work with filmmakers who will help me go deeper in my work.

It's give-and-take and back-and-forth, that constantly allows you to grow as an artist and as a human being.

I love my job, I love being an actor and stepping into the shoes of different characters and exploring their lives. It's enriched my life extremely. I've learned more about myself and the ways of life through being an actor.

I think that we're all continually searching for who we are, and that's ever-evolving and changing.

I pretty much have made a career out of playing real life people.
