I think the best type of action movie combines a love story with the action.

I like being New Orleans. Different aspects. You have the lake house. You have a huge, almost plantation-style house, so I like the different elements of the city and what the city has to offer and putting it on the screen.

I did a film which was considered an independent movie with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia called Confidence, and that's the type of film I was willing to take a chance on that because of the caliber of people involved with the film.

When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.

I'm an R&B and Hip-Hop type guy. When I work out, which I do at least four or five times a week, I love to get the latest Hip-Hop because it really pumps me up and inspires me to get that workout on.

I like to eat sweets. When I go to a restaurant, I'll read the dessert menu before I even look at the entrees.

Some people make a career out of doing one thing, but I wanted to diversify my body of work.
