I never wanted the temptation to imitate or emulate something that had been done beforehand.
Tyler HoechlinWhen I turned twenty-five, I did a six-week trip around Europe by myself. I'd never really done a European trip before and I'd definitely never traveled alone like that. I just had such a great time meeting people. I had such a great time seeing new cultures and different ways that people think and different ways that they live and different ways that they see the world.
Tyler HoechlinWhatever your talent is, donโt be embarrassed by it. For the love of God, embrace it, share it, do what you want with it. Itโs amazing, so never hide behind it.
Tyler HoechlinFor me, I think it's such an important thing to hear other people's stories, because you do find ways that either you can learn something from them, or you can identify with something that they've gone through. You realize that maybe what you're going through in life isn't just specific to you, that somebody else understands it, or you talk to someone and all of sudden you see something in a completely different way because of what they've said to you or shared with you.
