I come from a family of fishermen. Fishing is very important to us. We don't hunt. We're not gun folk.

When I was in high school, I would perform every year in those plays and there was something I really loved about it. But I was completely unaware that you could sort of get into an acting career.

Damn it all, you have been given a life on this beautiful planet! Get off your ass and do something!

I made an executive decision in college when I learned how behind I was in the world of books, films, and music because of my rural upbringing. I really reduced the amount of time that sports took up in my life.I still have some Faulkner to get through.

The fact that I have a job that people even watch is an incredible gift.

I grew up in a small town in Illinois, and my dad was a basketball coach. Thanks to him, I have excellent fundamentals in both basketball and baseball.

I'm very hairy, and men in film and TV are no longer allowed to be hairy.
