When you go into a starring position and you're carrying a movie, it's important that people like it. So I only do things that I can connect with in some sort of way, or that I can identify with.

I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; take Thursday off; then I work out Friday and Saturday. So sometimes I'll eat whatever I want on Thursday, like a big breakfast of pancakes and bacon and eggs and stuff. You can eat a big, hearty breakfast because you're going to burn off most of it during the day anyway.

There will be new and exciting filmmakers to come and movies that will be great successes.

This is my most important role. If I fail at this, I fail at everything.

I also like to get out there to promote a positive message about the importance of family and faith and of doing the right thing.

You know, there's nothing like seeing the smile on my kids' faces. Laughing together. Playing. It's the best.

Boston didn't always have the best reputation, nor did I, growing up in Boston, as a kid with challenges and obstacles in front of me.
