When I get the chance, I'm at the theaters all the time, trying to check out the latest movies.

I try to avoid typecasting by doing different roles.

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

Don't depend on acting as your sole source of income. Work nights, so you can have your days off to attend auditions. Have something to fall back on. That's what my mother taught me, and it's critical in Hollywood.

People always have an opinion. Doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean it's wrong, but we have to respect their opinion.

My best advice about working in Hollywood is: Save your money!

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!
