I grew up a misfit. I never fit in.

Every weekend the drama department would have parties. The 20 hot girls on campus? All of them were in the drama dept. So we'd have somebody standing guard at the door to keep all the computer science guys out. We had to guard our women at all times.

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 mean 'One Tree Hill' had some rabid fans - you'd be surprised - they're almost in a class of their own.

[ Being naked on scene ] was like walking a tightrope without a net - with a giant fan blowing at you.

I screen tested for Training Day many years ago, which was David Ayer's script with Antoine Fuqua directing.

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.
