Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.
I don't want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
A creep is someone who claims he's one thing but he's actually another.
In romantic comedies there's a certain ceiling and a floor that you can't necessarily love as hard, or hate as hard, or have as much pain, because you sink the shop of the romantic comedy. But in a certain drama, like some of the ones I've been doing, the ceiling and the floor was my own. And in many ways, that was a higher ceiling and a lower floor, so that was more of a band-with for those emotions.
Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.
Good ideas are free - or at least they should be.
I don't dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don't know, people's perceptions of me. I truly don't.
Romantic comedies are built to be light. They're built for a certain buoyancy.
Cameras aren't guns. They can't really hurt you.
My last name is originally Irish. I'm not exactly sure whereabouts it's from, but I've got family branches that were traced back there.
When I see grace in a woman, that's very sexy. You can tell by how someone moves or their rhythm.
Music is a really great creative tool for me, for different roles.
The law says you cannot touch, but I see a lot of lawbreakers up in this house.
My father – who I know is up there right now, with a big pot of gumbo, he’s got a lemon meringue pie, he’s probably in his underwear, and he’s got a cold can of Miller Lite – and he’s dancing.
