I have a tough time turning my brain off, to be honest.

I spent a lot of time flailing around, not really sure what I wanted to do, in my 20s and early 30s.

I get a little uptight if things aren't going the way I think they should be going.

I'm not that interested in going and doing a network show but, like everybody else, trying to find something good.

I'm not a guy that loves a lot of rehearsal, but it depends.

Actors, I find, are generally happy to be working.

I enjoy played flawed men who are pushed to the limit, who make mistakes and then have to recover.

As soon as you do something successfully, you're going to be known for that, and it's up to you to sort of move the needle again.

I don't think a swimmer on film works unless you're Australian, because for them, swimmers are like their football players, their basketball players; they're huge stars.

I was runner that really started focusing on swimming at a very young age, and that's kind of how I got into acting. I was at a school for gifted athletes and gifted artists, and I got injured one year and started hanging out with all the actors and dancers and all those crazy people and started getting the bug.
