It's always a struggle growing up in Akron.

I was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.

Where I grew up - I grew up on the north side of Akron, lived in the projects. So those scared and lonely nights - that's every night. You hear a lot of police sirens, you hear a lot of gunfire. Things that you don't want your kids to hear growing up.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

Football's a global game.

I played a little pro football, didn't make much money.

I work legs, upper body, everything. Legs are very important. I do hang cleans and squats - I do primary exercises. Squats work over 60 percent of your muscle mass in your body. The hang cleans work on my explosive movement, which is essential for success.

Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.
