I still work out most days. When I do it, I go full blast five or six days a week, two to three hours a day. I enjoy it. It's therapeutic for me.

I never knew my father, and I'd hate to repeat that kind of cycle with my own children, because I'd also want to be there for them no matter what.

Change for me was really hard because I had built myself up to be a certain kind of man my whole life, as men are where I come from. I thought I got to handle things different that's gonna make me feel like a real pussy. For me it was hard to turn the other cheek. Even though it's a stronger choice. It was very hard to make the change, but I had to in order to survive. Otherwise they would have won.

A lot of those who let you down are those who seemed the closest to you.

I have so many boxing gloves around my house that I would get them confused with other gloves.

I spent so long studying really hard to become a fine actor, but threw it all away because I got the adulation and the fame so easily

I come from a violent background. So I became hard. I realised that I had made myself that way to deal with a feeling of abandonment and shame.
