I like to feel that something's alive in acting, like something's really going on.

When you're being real, that's endearing to an audience. When you're not being real and you're making jumps to things that don't really follow how they would in reality, people don't appreciate that.

Have fun. Keep your integrity. Do what you want to do and stay true to that.

I like to throw my own punches when I can, as would any guy. You can always tell when it's somebody in a wig. It's cool when it comes up to your face and it's still you in the fight.

It sucks to be the runner-up because I've been the runner-up for a long time in my career. I would get so close and then lose a huge movie and sometimes it's one kid who beats you out for three different movies. It's so frustrating at the time, but what's so great is the lesson you take from that, which is, 'I've got to get better.'

I would love to do more movies. I'd like to get into some theater, too, if I could, just to learn more. I want to do gritty performances that I'm proud of. It doesn't matter to me if four people see it or millions of people see it, as long as I perform in such a way that people go, 'Wow!

I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to BE another person and create what it would be like to be that person.
