From the very beginning, I've always just wanted to do something I've never done before. I'm still just trying to be on that path. It's all about working with filmmakers that you believe in.
I moved back to Idaho when I was 6 or 7 and then lived in a little town called Twin Falls and then moved to Boise. So quite different from L.A. I'd been to Disneyland a couple of times, and that was the closest I'd been to L.A.
The first album I ever bought with my own money was 'Ten.' Every single song reminds me of my childhood.
My first gig was a Corn Pops commercial. I did the first Vanilla Coke campaign. A Juicy Fruit commercial paid my bills for years.
My favourite job hands down - and I think I can speak for everyone involved - was 'Breaking Bad.'
My father's a Southern Baptist minister. I wasn't lighting cars on fire; I just wasn't.
My family never owned a home. We leased.
I've been a fan of Burberry for a very long time and they've been so supportive of me for many years.
I was on the snowboard team at my school, but that was the only sports team I was on. I played soccer growing up in elementary school.
I knew that I tend to always gravitate to the indie side of things.
I gravitate toward edgy, intense, dark films that just grab you by the throat.
I don't understand why every guy is not a romantic. I enjoy it.
I don't even draw on my life experiences when I'm acting. I just try and make it feel like I'm living through that person's skin.
I didn't come from any money, but even when I was on 'Big Love' - people think you're on a series and you're making bank.
