I think your teenage years define your musical roots forever. You're always looking for a theme for your high school years.

I try to do as many different roles as the system will allow me. That's the benefit of not being in a giant blockbuster where you're the lead and you get typecast in that kind of role. I am able to slip in or out of a lot of different parts.

It's very hard to maintain focus in the gym.

I don't like being lied to.

If you look back on the breakups that you've had, whether it's a long relationship or a one-night stand, it's always awkward.

I love making movies, but there's nothing like being in front of an audience.

Musical theater is one of my passions.

I love to go to casinos with my wife. I play poker, and she's an old-fashioned slot queen. She even has a visor.

With actors like Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and Harrison Ford, what made them such icons is that even in dramatic movies, their characters had a sense of humor.

My father is an anchor and my brother is as well.

There are a lot of Christian fundamentalists; there are a lot of Muslim extremists. Every religion - Mormonism - has something way on the side that's completely using the religion as some weird backbone for their twisted faith. It has nothing to do with their religion.
