I don’t go where people are. I go where the people aren’t.

My family's really close.

My parents never looked at my acting as a career. They saw it as a way to help provide for the household.

I'm not the least bit polished, I come from a blue collar background and I never thought I could feel comfortable around the English.

I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want.

Surfing soothes me, it's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.

I'm a doer, and whether it was the tsunami in Sri Lanka or the earthquake in Indonesia, I was always saying, I should be there; I should be helping out.
