My family was always very supportive. Whether you're an actor or not, everybody hears the horror stories of people going to L.A. and trying to be an actor, and their dreams are crushed, and they end up working for the IRS. So they were always protective to the point that they wanted me to have a backup plan, which is understandable, but there was always something inside of me that knew: backup plan, schmackup plan.

I don't believe in strong-arming people.

You know, Hollywood is a very interesting town - always has been, always will be.

I just love going down into the crowd and getting people pumped up and dancing.

My high school experience was pretty good, but my middle school experience was god awful. It was horrible. I got picked on like no tomorrow.

I believe that as an entertainer, you're only as good as your audience and the people who support you.

I mean, I like to consider myself a reasonably athletic guy.
