[Ryan Gosling] just got by because he's a cute kid? Yeah. I was an ugly kid; "The Mickey Mouse Club" wasn't for me.

I've always wanted to direct and as I grow and I get older and I get older I just want to let that evolve.

In terms of experience with the police, everybody got those. It's such a reality.

I think it's just easier for people to put you in a box or a lane because you look similar. I think that's unfair for anybody in any situation.

We all use texting as a crutch because it's so easy and it doesn't really stop our day for the most part but I think to assure a woman you want to go out, to see that you're serious, you take the extra effort to pick up the phone and make a phone call.

When I hear people comparing Mike's [Jordan] work to Denzel [Washington] I think it's amazing.. Because Denzel is such an amazing, textured actor. And I think that that comes with Mike too. I'm not thinking about how they look, though; I'm thinking about what they're able to accomplish.

I love sports. I've played basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, track and field growing up.
