- Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I have always played someone like 10 years younger. When I was 23 or 24, I was playing 15, opposite Evan Rachel Wood, in a movie called Pretty Persuasion (2005). She was 16 and nobody in a million years would have thought I was that much older than her.
- I run a lot. I love running. I try to run at least half an hour a day.
- That's an amazing gift as an actor - to be able to say I have an audience in so many countries in the world and that people know my work.
- The more you work out, the more you get the energy to do it. And the more you get motivated to do it, especially when you start seeing results.
- Working out makes me feel good. When I don't work out for a few days, I start feeling grumpy. When I'm at the gym, it wakes me up. My spirits are higher. I just feel happier and more motivated to do things.
