If I'm talking to someone and they're feeling a certain way, I will definitely tie into that very quickly. You have to learn to read emotions and feelings when you grow up in a family with four brothers - especially if three of them are a lot bigger than you.

The hardest part of acting is not being guaranteed work. Every job could be your last.

A lot of the stuff you do as an actor - or I do, because I can't speak for everyone - is not always consciously thought out. A lot of the time, for me, it's actually just feeling stuff, and it happens all in the moment and your body reacts.

Nature is a definite thing. But nurture is just as powerful. It can really mess with you.

When I first met my girlfriend, I was super intimidated. I wanted to impress her. I was thinking, Don't mess this up, man. You've gotta play your cards exactly right.

Everyone doubts themselves. It's just a matter of admitting it or not.

I prefer more of the modern stuff - just because I can associate with the imagery more.

As much as I do love real-life stories they can often make you hurt in a way I'd rather not hurt. . . . For some reason, it's always the pain that gets you.

I never thought of myself as unlucky. When you aim high, it's tough to get there unless something really fortunate happens.

The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.

There is a story that you have to tell within a certain amount of time, and you can only show so much of the character. So as much as the script is born from the source material, there are certain limitations.
