I never excelled at one sport or had a very strong passion for anything other than wrestling and bodybuilding.

If you're pursuing something that you love and you're learning something new, every day, that's the key to youth [staying young].

If you do an indie film, where it's like, We don't have a lot of money to give you, but we'll really give you a lot of freedom, that's really a luxury to have in this business. At least for myself, because I'm still kind of earning my acting credibility.

If I could get myself to a place where I felt secure and I wouldn't have to kind of worry about money and I know my family would be secure, then I would leave the big studios so I could continue to make smaller films, and hopefully get to direct a few of them, too.

Money Talks. Chocolate Sings.

Honestly, I don't aspire to be a huge movie star. I really just fell in love with acting... Everything I do on-screen is very subtle.

I'm not a leading man. I'm a character actor. That's what I want to be.

It's really a great luxury to have, to be able to go from big films to indie films, too. Because I'm on the job learning as an actor, and independent films is where I'm learning to act.

I really feel like indie films are where I learn to be a better actor, especially because they always give you a bit more freedom to collaborate.

I'm creating my niche. My niche is going to be shirtless guy.

The acting stuff is more important to me than actually being a big star.

People look at me, and they have a certain perception, and they slap a label on me. The guy you saw in a wrestling ring is not who I am.

I'm more a fan of old-school films with really interesting stories and good performances. That's what I'd like to do.

The worst injury I have ever suffered in the ring was a torn triceps they had to take a piece of my hamstring to repair the tear. It was brutal I was out for 6 months.

Kissing babies and hugging fat girls.

For some reason, I struggle seeing myself as a leading man.

I love playing different characters. I just do. I want to play even more quirky and interesting characters and just something that people wouldn't automatically think that I would be. I want to go against the grain a bit and I'm hoping people will be open-minded enough to cast me in stuff that's going against the grain.
