I could take you for a walk on the beach and I could point out just about any creature and give you their Latin names.

I need to work with great directors and actors, people who are better than me, so that I am challenged. It is like playing sports - surfing, basketball, it doesn't matter what it is, if you play with people who are better than you, then you get better too. It is the same thing with acting.

My family's really close.

I'm extemely competitive, so when people start counting me out or trying to categorise me, I sorta get hungry.

When I was younger, the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy.

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

You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.
