I had to learn how to become a real actor, I had to suffer and be rejected and face that 100 times just like every actor. It wasn't like someone handed it to me.

Look, we are a rock group. But you should see all those things in perspective. People tend to blow up everything into ridiculous proportions. And then the fun is gone real soon.

In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.

In high school, I was one of the cofounders of New Kids on the Block my freshman year in high school. But I also started studying theatre in high school my freshman year as well. So throughout high school, I was actually doing both.

I believe in creating a workplace where a deep sense of justice underpins everything we do.

I started this job in 1995, and I felt the same pressure in my first day, with my first team, Reggiana, in the Second Division, as I feel now. Nothing has changed, but what changes are the number of games, especially for top teams. For this reason, the work has pressure. But only this.

At 14, you think you compete, you retire and you get a job. I didn't think gymnastics was a career that was going to change my life.

I'm planning to have a career based on my acting skills rather than the size of my chest.
