American comedies especially are all about these men being browbeaten by their wives and it's impossible for me to watch.

Well, if I hadn't have been an actor I would have gone on to play college sports.

I grew up a misfit. I never fit in.

Well, being 6' 5', pull-ups are my nemesis. I have really long arms so I have to do twice the work of someone with short arms to get the weight up there.

I've always been an athletic guy, but the extent to which I go for 'True Blood' or for 'Magic Mike' is because of the role that I'm playing.

When I'm training for 'True Blood,' I don't eat any sugar except for some fruit here and there. So it's no sugar, no bread, no real carbs all day.

When I first got out of drama school, my original manager tried to get me to change my name because people were having trouble spelling it and saying it.

I come from classical theater training and when I went to college it was a bunch of kids that were hand-picked from around the world. I was around such brilliant young minds and incredible artists with incredible teachers.

I think you can be athletic and intellectual at the same time.

I wake up at the same time every day to get to the gym.

It's tricky when I'm constantly traveling and adjusting to new time zones and trying to also keep up with my workouts.
