What's funny is that male strippers don't wear thongs anymore. They wear flat backs.

When I first got out of drama school, my original manager tried to get me to change my name because people were having trouble spelling it and saying it.

I was happier going back to my roots: training like men do in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Back home the guys in the gyms don't lift to look good; they're lifting to lift. They do it because they want to squat more and bench more.

I quit because that thing inside of me that was driving me to drink that way was causing me so much pain that I was starting to get afraid for my own life, and my own health. It wasn't necessarily one instance. It was a lot that had piled up.

So listen, man, "weird" is my middle name. I'm ready for anything. The weirder, the better.

I started working at clubs when I was sixteen, which is young. I would not want my kid doing that, but I did, and that's how it went.

In the age of camera phones and screenshots and Twitter.... At the end of the day, I want to share my life with somebody, you know? I want picture albums. I want to look back at our time together. And I also want kids. And if you want kids, then you want marriage.
