I had a classic gym teacher in junior high who wore a weightlifter's belt all the time.

In my school, people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look, if they're cool, they get respect.

So I just came out here to Los Angeles with a bunch of buddies I had gone to film school with. You know, for better or worse, we just tried to slug it out here.

I went to film school so I have a writing and directing background, and I think a lot of the material I'm interested in writing and getting out there is stories about anti-heroes and people you should just not ordinarily root for - trying to figure out a way of appealing to people they wouldn't normally appeal to.

My first job was at an amusement park in Virginia. It was the worst. I loved the park but once I'd worked there all the magic was gone from it. It just turned into a place I hated and I've never been there since.

Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.

As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.

I can't even remember not wanting to go to film school.

I've always had the hair of Lionel Ritchie since I was a boy, but the mullet sadly is a hairpiece. My wife won't let me rock that hairstyle.

The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.
