People say 'follow in the footsteps' but I always find that a strange expression because what you want to do is forge your own path, so to speak.

The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives, like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The only person I can amaze is me.

You know, Taylor Lautner, with a body like that, he should be taking his shirt off. For me, it's not so essential.

With acting, I've got a character to inhabit. You've got to think about your intentions and your directions. In modeling, even though there's an act to it, a good model is a good model. For me it's uncomfortable territory. You start to feel quite insecure about yourself. There's nothing between you and the camera, and it's just you.

I don't look on the Internet; it's a world of pain.

There are certain things that cut right to the bone, but as an actor you have to because you get turned down for things all the time. I have a friend who was told he didn't get a job because he was too hairy. I've never heard anything that bad, but you have to get used to that sort of thing.
