One of the reasons I'm an actor is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasn't athletic and didn't have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in Kentucky, most little boys were trying to get into sports, and it was very competitive, so that was not to be. But I did want to do something.

There are so many people who make their fortunes of the misfortunes of others. I don't know if it's because the world is too damn crowded, or what, but it's something that I've been noticing for awhile.

One of the great things about acting is you can do things that in real life would get you in trouble. I think that's something I figured out pretty early on.

I'm equally terrified of both comedy and drama. The only thing I'm really comfortable with is action.

I get pretty attached to the majority of the characters I play. I can't help myself.

Humility in this business [acting] isn't just a matter of being polite, it's kind of a matter of survival. You can't ever afford to think that you're the bee's knees, because you could always afford to be better. You have to always be searching for something better.

A lot of times the characters I play tend to be kind of loners or they don't have best friends or best buddies.
