So it was a thing that my mother always taught me to go for your goals and never give up no matter what they are, and I started believing that later on in life.

A lot of kids think they can just go to Hollywood and become an actor or actress. It's not that easy. There are millions of kids who come out here wanting to act. So, you have to have a plan, and you have to stick with that plan, because it's not going to be easy by any means.

I was up around 340 pounds because the producers said they wanted a really big guy, and I'm not that big, you know! I've lost it all now though. I'm 285 pounds, my sexy weight!

I tell people, 'It's just like a cliche, but it's true: In Hollywood, dreams can come true.'

I love acting it's apart of me and I try to put a little bit of myself in each of my roles.

When something happens, we always say it happens for a reason.

Always wake up with a smile on your face, because a lot of people who went to sleep last night are not with us this morning.
