I believe that my greatest strength is a deep-rooted, unshakeable trust to never let myself give up.

My mom was a history teacher when I was a kid, so I hated history out of rebellion.

On a personal level, I don't exactly thrive on the idea of being known as the guy who goes topless - because I also took my shirt off on 'American Horror Story: Coven' - but I think in 'The Last Kingdom,' it's mainly done in the right way.

I don't really feel an allegiance to any of the countries I have lived in, even though I feel like part of them, and part of them is in me.

I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true.

I believe that every American should have stable, dignified housing; health care; education - that the most very basic needs to sustain modern life should be guaranteed in a moral society.

There isn't anybody out there who doesn't have a mental health issue, whether it's depression, anxiety, or how to cope with relationships. Having OCD is not an embarrassment anymore - for me. Just know that there is help and your life could be better if you go out and seek the help.

I don't believe in looking like a mannequin. I like my bulges and love handles, but fitness is important for me.
