“I keep myself amused and others confused”

I was always performing, doing silly voices. The teachers realized I could go one of two ways: be creative or destructive.

One of the best things about being an actor is that it’s a meritocracy.

Maybe it’s just getting older, but I don’t want to miss things.

Not that i had a big arse but even that was toned.

We should have a conversation when we hang up.

Actor is an odd profession, and sometimes people get jealous, but I haven’t really experienced any of that. Everyone’s been really happy for me, which is really, really great.

I am a PR disaster because I talk too much.

Talking about class terrifies me. There is no way of winning.

It still makes me giggle that I’m paid to act.

Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.

Writing in French is one of my ambitions. I’d like to be able to dream one day in French. Italian and French are the two languages that I’d like to know.

I hate the color red almost as much as i hate blond hair,”he said with an amused tone. -Dank
