People like to pigeonhole you.
I should never go with rumors because they're often not correct.
I'm used to being efficient and a guy that can do more than the average guy can.
I'm enthusiastic and ambitious, and I work hard.
I've been unfortunate enough to be working, and recovering from a few injuries now and again.
Once you expose your private life, if you give one little bit, the floodgates are open and everyones got a free range for you.
I just gravitate to those more testosterone-filled sort of parts than me playing something a bit more fairy-like.
There is something about yourself that you don't know...
Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I'm interested in practical strength that's going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.
I think that's as far as you have to think, everything happens as a coincidence. It either happens or it doesn't. It's hard to map out a strategic plan by saying, 'If I do that, that's going to get me to the next level.' I think that's the wrong way to go into movies as an actor. It doesn't happen for me that way.
I love to get behind the wheel and get competitive.
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set, and you're working out, you're going to feel good.
Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense.
Your body is like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you'll never make it explode. You hit it once with a hammer: Bang! Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and half of nonsense. It's so much more rewarding.
