I think as working actors, it's like sales. You're only as good as your last sale, so you put your all into something and you just hope that from that you can get your next job.

I always had a weight issue since I was a young kid.

Anytime where you're challenged, physically or mentally, you rise to the occasion in different ways.

I was raised by a single mother.

I'm not built for war. I'm built for entertainment. I'm built for jokes - either telling them or being the butt of them.

Acting's not therapy, but it can be therapeutic.

With drama, you need to be laughing, in between takes, 'cause you're going to those recesses of your soul and those dangerous parts. Normally, if you're not an actor or some crazy artist, you don't feel the need to run around in those areas. You keep them separate because it's painful.

I love '80s movies.

When you're an actor or any kind of artist, you use your life as something to draw from in every experience.

Real artists take the misery and sadness of life and translate it into art.

In life, I'd much rather have people laughing at me than booing me.

Not getting girls is the story of my life. I have always had a bit of a tough time with the ladies. I don't know whether it's that I don't have game or just don't feel comfortable in my own skin, but females pick up on that.
