Music I do just for me.
I was an athlete when I was growing up.
I was very shy when I was younger. But I did have a terrible temperament. I would get angry very quickly, but the rest of the time I was this big goofball, playing the drums in a band and making out with girls.
I'm blessed to have cool roles in these big movies.
I'll always build houses.
I love music. I do play. It's like mathematics, and it's also emotional. It's nice to play, for no other reason than just to play.
The star thing, the celebrity thing, is new to me.
What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.
People love to yammer on about things that aren't real.
I don't do well with expectation in my life. All I can do is do the best that I can do.
I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.
Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you'll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?
Accents can be a great tool to tell a story - but if you do it wrong, it pulls you right out of the movie.
You have a great road map when you play somebody that exists. That's the amazing thing. But then you have great limitations from that road map. It's hard to deviate from it creatively as an actor. It's like, "Oh wait, he'd never do that."
