Quotes
  • "I may not be great, and it's because I try something and it doesn't work."
  • "I don't mean this in a bad way, but a lot of actors today are just more girly than the actors I grew up respecting."
  • "I don't drink. I don't go out and party. I like to stay home and work."
  • "I was the bad kid in school. I was usually in trouble. I'd get suspended for fighting, for graffiti, for smoking pot. And I learned that it's not worth it."
