My second grade teacher told me I would never graduate high school. That I was going to be a juvenile delinquent.

My mom is very proud of introducing music to all her kids. But I played in some bad rock bands my junior and senior years of high school.

For me, pressure is self-imposed, and it's good for me. The best actors are the most prepared because it's all imaginary and you have to know the character inside out.

'Footloose' is a fun movie. If you do it right, people should leave wanting to dance.

Acting is such a high art, and coming from theater, I know how hard it is and respect the craft. I want to look back when it ends, and say I challenged myself. I wanted to be an actor you always remember, and those who are the great ones. That's just a personal journey. If you're too comfortable you're taking it too easy. The director can direct you for two months but before that it's just you and your internal drive. I want people to go to my movies and know it'll be good, and with great actors. You never know what you'll learn from just staying in the same space with them.

I think I might do an animated film next. I'm serious.
