“You can’t truly love someone if you also love yourself, just as you can’t love someone if you are not honest with them and they with you – otherwise it’s just infatuation and desire.”

My career goals generally remain the same, but my short time goals constantly change either because I’ve reached them all or they no longer fit into my current strategy.

Naturally animals are very special to me, especially dogs.

I am fortunate to have a lot of love in my life. I love my family, I love my dog, I love my close friends, and I absolutely love my incredible girlfriend.

Vulnerability isn’t a bad thing. Everyone’s vulnerable and it only makes you human.

To me love is passionate, it is honest, and it is selfless.

I guess at it’s very core love is connection that just makes so much sense you wonder how you used to live before you were lucky enough to experience it.

The best thing about the world today is that everyone is connected and you can go online and quickly find people all over the world doing incredible things.

Science is my JAM. I am very excited to see where science and technological advancements will take us in the next few decades.

I can’t stand being stagnant. Every day is a new opportunity to achieve something, even on a small scale.

One of the most empowering things about being a self-employed actor is also one of the hardest things; I get to set my own goals.

Medical science in particular will get exponentially better, especially once computers will be powerful enough to digitally simulate entire human brains, meaning medical experiments that would normally take years can be digitally run taking only hours.

For the longest time I have had so much belief and confidence in myself, which as an actor you need, because the entertainment industry is incredible competitive, brutal, and unpredictable just when you start to think you know what’s going on.

If you lack vulnerability then you are not being truthful to yourself.

Getting up early and setting myself daily targets, even outside of acting, keeps me active and motivated in general and thus happier, which I hope translates into my personality and my work.

I don’t think I can get anywhere near to fully describing what love is.

As an actor in-between jobs, it can be hard to stay motivated when you feel like you future is always in someone else’s hands. You are always waiting for someone to look at you and say “YES.”
