One of the biggest inspirations before I started shooting came from my brother, when he texted me and said, 'Hey, fatty, it's called 'The Hunger Games', not 'The Eating Games'. So I started working out a lot more and eating a lot less.

I'm all about working with directors that are doing different techniques and I think everyone has their way of getting it to the place that they think is best.

I learn more with every job and I'm thankful for where I am

I used to have an afro like Will Ferrell in Semi-Pro. It was bleached blond from the sun. I was tall and awkward. I was not cool.

If you put the work in, and you show that you're willing to work hard, you'll succeed.

I also surround myself with good people who keep me and bring the best out of me. I don't generally hang out with crazy people.

I go down to Newport and Huntington a lot. It's more crowded than where I grew up on Phillip Island, but I think it's helped me adjust to life in America - getting into the water as much as I can.
