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.

The government needs the help of industry. But the reality is companies will balance that against their own commercial interest in a very competitive market.

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 try to avoid typecasting by doing different roles.

Of course, people told me, 'Mikey, you will never be an actor. You don't have the look. You're ugly.'

I don't like it when someone can look you in the eye and lie to you, or pretend that they're more than you.

Know what you want to do, because if you don't know what you want to do, you'll get stuck.
