I've been building a future for myself outside of acting.

I grew up very fast. I was always hanging around with older kids.

I save my money, brother. I don't spend what I don't make.

There are a lot of actors out there who don't have an arena to present their stuff.

I was once described as being mediumly handsome, and that's a right-on analysis for me.

I think you could turn on any channel and see a sexy guy, depending on your barometer of what sexy is.

I guess being a hunk is a lot better than being a chunk.

I was surrounded by a lot of people not doing what they wanted to do.

The day I came in and found another actor's name on my dressing room door, and my stuff out in the hall, that was the day I learned my lesson.

I never had any formal voice training, but it's something I always wanted to do. 'So I negotiated a deal with a recording studio after I gathered enough material for a record. I put a group together and just went ahead and did it. What the hell.

In a series, you have the luxury of time to establish the character and build a rhythm. In a TV movie, you've got to come up with the rhythm now. Right now.

Most of the time I play heroes, guys who don't have an edge.
