I learned how to get in shape without getting certain muscles too big that make you look like a meathead.

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

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

I began acting at age eight, but if you don't stay on your game then people pass on you. Being on a show, it's a little easy to get comfortable, so I'm trying to get back on it. I'm taking some acting classes and watching movies, and I'm just trying to stay up with other actors.

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.

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.
