For me as an actor, I use a lot of music. Music is a huge part of developing and getting into a certain mindset.

I don't do the L.A. scene. I stay focused and very myopic. I don't feel I need to prove myself or be in people's faces, especially in this town.

There's that stigma about New Yorkers, how they're so mean, but in my experience it was quite the opposite. People were very genuine and very nice, even on the subway.

My sister is 16 and I tell her to take risks. Really explore and meet as many people as you can. Do as much as you can before reality kicks in. Have fun.

When I'm not acting, I try to be normal, play golf, play hockey. It's funny because you're in this little bubble when you're working - you don't read books, you don't really keep up with the news, you're just living that life.

You never walk out of the gym and say, 'I shouldn't have gone.

I admire an actor that can do a lot with doing nothing really, for the most part. I like doing a lot by doing so little.
