Quotes
- "Sometimes you have to go places with characters and emotions within yourself you don't want to do, but you have a duty to the story and as a storyteller to do it."
"I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there."
"Now I meet people with full-color Wolverine tattoos on their backs. Thank God I did okay, because I think if I hadn't, they'd spit on me in the street."
"I have a wife and a son, but the gay rumors have started. I guess it's a sign that I'm moving up the ladder."
"It dawned on me that acting was what I wanted to do with my life. Nothing had ever touched my heart like acting did."
"I'm a big goofball, you know. Don't tell anyone that, but I'm a big goofball. In Australia we call it a dag."
