“Nothing comes easy when I’m in character, because everything I do in character, I take seriously.”

That’s what I love. I love thinking about the film, the project and committing myself as much as possible.

The whole year I was in LA I got into telemarketing and learned how to make money. Five years later that skill helped me make my first film.

I’m not disciplined enough to be a writer consistently. I write when I have to.

Deal-making goes on with any job.

I love women more than anything.

Choosing the car you drive is like choosing your wardrobe, maybe even more important.

A person in my position has to restrain himself.

I haven’t had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God.

I don’t think a lot of actors talk about it, but there’s usually a process where you essentially purge yourself of the character that you played prior to the movie.

Film is my hobby, so I will work well through the night to develop films, whatever film I’m doing or dream projects I have.

I do practice martial arts, more as a recreational thing, but a lot of my friends have been heavyweight champions the in mixed martial arts world.

If you had asked me back in grade school what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said my first choice was an actor, but if I couldn’t be that, I’d want to be a superhero.

It’s insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.

I’m a boy who appreciates a good body, regardless of the make.

I enjoy playing a quintessential antihero. There’s something therapeutic about playing such characters. I know it sounds corny but I feel like I learn about myself when I play that characters.

I’ve turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.

I’m not funny. What I am is brave.

Character is like my fingerprint; it identifies me from everyone else in the world. It says who I am and where I am headed.

You spend your life training to be an actor, observing people’s characteristics so that you can design characters around what you’ve seen.

My features are completely ethnic.

Listen to a man’s words and look at the pupil of his eye. How can a man conceal his character?

As an actor, you think you know your craft, you know the conflicts in your character, but often you don’t.

I am not bothered with whether my characters are conventional or not. Because I am not in this for the designer labels and the autographs.

Benevolence is one of the distinguishing characters of man.
