I wanted to work with somebody who seemed like he came from the same place that I did, which is that total immersion and learning about the world around, from this very gritty, dark side, and had access to that.

I'm an average guy. I wasn't the dude who was gonna sit at the stage and dump all my paycheck into the girl.

The reason I couldn't pay my rent was because I was one of the worst drinkers you'd ever seen in your life.

I train like a pro-athlete, not like an actor who's just trying to look pretty.

Sometimes people say things they don't mean, and you just have to let it go.

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 actually met Carrie Fisher a couple of years ago. When I told her that she was my first crush, she insisted that we get married and have a reality show about it. I'm lucky to have made it out of that weekend without getting married.
