- Always be yourself. An original is always worth more than a copy.
- I'm always scared that one day I'll look back and say "God they were the best years of my life and now what?" There are moments when you feel as if you've been blessed for a while, moments when you think this is perfect, moments when you start to believe that even for an hour, even for a year, it might all happen.

- I may look like the guy next door, but you don't wanna live next door to me.
- [on the acting business] - Acting is always new to me, each time out, because you bring your life experiences to it as well as your own maturity, which gets better the more you live. You're always stretching yourself, trying to do better. When anyone asks where I want to be 10 years from now, all I can say is I'd like to be better, as an actor and as a guy.
- I'm probably the most jumpiest person when it comes to watching horror movies. There'll be a scene in a movie that I know is coming and I just know I'm gonna jump like hell.
