I could live a thousand years and still not know everything, still not have tried anything.
Anything - a destination, a person - that has some mystery around it becomes exciting and attractive.
Well, I like chocolate stuff; I don't like any of that other gross sugary candy.
To be completely honest, it's shocking to me that I keep getting the villain roles! I do not see myself as the villain and I know, growing up, I was the opposite of a villain. I would never try to be a villain to anyone - but maybe other people I grew up with feel differently about that.
You know, it's such an insult to actual martial artists that I say that I do martial arts.
I love pain. Love pain.
I moved to L.A. right out of high school, but not to act. I think I chose it because it was on the same time zone as Seattle, where I'm from.
I was so lucky to have parents who supported me, 100%, with whatever I was doing, both financially and emotionally. Having that they made my life so much easier. Instead of becoming a bartender and trying to survive while trying to pursue your dreams, I didn't have to worry about that aspect. I could just pursue my dreams.
The future doesn't matter if I don't enjoy what's going on right now.
I don't actually go out and pursue a route that will fit me best, it's just that something comes to me and I enjoy it and want to be a part of it.
I was meant to play the bad guy, for always and ever.
To be let go from a soap opera is the most embarrassing confidence basher in the world. It's like, 'Oh, if I'm not good enough for that, I'm not good enough for anything.
it's never been a plan to have this or that. It's just where I am in my life, at that time, and where my path is going to go.
In the past, I would try to control so much, but that's just too stressful, and gives me too much anxiety and worry.
Why not do as much as you can, and learn as much as you can about each process?
It's a collaborative art form where we can both learn something from the other. That's what you want from the relationship with a director.
It's such a challenge to play a good guy - it's hard to be believable.
I want to try new things and put myself out there and take some risks.
I grew up playing sports, football, basketball, baseball, everything, and acting was such a different environment and different world for me.
I can get bored with any show, when it goes on too long.
I can't hear music. I don't understand it. It's so above and beyond me.
Idling is not my strong suit.
I'm fascinated with worlds where there's a small population left, whether it's a movie or these TV shows that fascinate me - 'Falling Skies' or 'The Walking Dead' - they are about survival and triumphing over difficult times. I just have a thing for 'em.
I've played so many jobs where I'm fearless, but it's far from me. I wish I were like that in real life.
Through all the bad guys that I've played, they're justifiably bad - they have their reasons. It's been important to me.
