I'd rather do manual labor than sit behind a desk. And as my grandparents got older, I'd fly out there and help out around the farm. We'd tear barns down; we'd build barns. I'd rather be outside rolling hay or driving the tractors.

I have a lot of older brothers who messed up in different ways in my mother's eyes. So I learned from all of their mistakes.

I'd love to do a movie like 'The Machinist.' It's an extreme movie but it takes you to a place that is quite impressive.

I lived in a tiny Midwest town, so I was always looking for adventure.

When I'm in love with a woman, seeing her in something cozy makes me not want to let go of her when I'm holding her.

A lot of girls think they have flaws that really aren't flaws. I've never met a girl who was just so secure about everything.

When I was doing 'Generation Kill' in Africa I worked with five really super-trained Navy SEALs who taught us all these moves like how to disarm people: if there's a bar fight and someone's got a chair or there's someone with a gun behind our head, how to disable them and take them down in a swift move.
