I train like a pro-athlete, not like an actor who's just trying to look pretty.

I think when portraying someone that does exist in real life, there's an amount of respect and you want to do them justice. I don't really care what anybody says out there about what I did in the film I care what these guys thought about what I did. If I'm making them happy, then I know I'm on the right track.

I quit because that thing inside of me that was driving me to drink that way was causing me so much pain that I was starting to get afraid for my own life, and my own health. It wasn't necessarily one instance. It was a lot that had piled up.

I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren't as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn't look right.

I started working at clubs when I was sixteen, which is young. I would not want my kid doing that, but I did, and that's how it went.

Acting was my first love.

Matt Bomer and I went to Carnegie Mellon for drama together.

I don’t think there’s any such thing as male objectification…I think that word exists only with women because there are societal pressures for them to behave a certain way and to look a certain way. Someone put it to me once: Women are sex objects and men are success objects. That was really interesting to me.

I play characters who are comfortable naked, but that's something you work up to. I did a play off-Broadway in New York when I was in college. It was full-frontal nudity. It's nerve-racking.

I am kind of giant … on (the True Blood) set.
