“One of the reasons a film about Pablo Escobar has never been made in the two-hour format is because there's too much information.”

“When I got into high school, I got really into basketball. I had this itch that I wanted to just move. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew that if basketball became a scholarship or something, it would be a means to that. It turned out I couldn't jump that high.”

“I saw an amazing film when I was 16 called 'Slam'. It's about a spoken-word poet. Saul Williams is in it.”

“Sean Penn, for his acting as well as his writing and directing. There are so many actors I respect, but his reach is so wide.”

“Most difficult is the labeling by other people that models are empty-headed bodies. I think if you look for negativity, you can find it anywhere.”

“For an actor to go to work every day is an extreme blessing.”

“I think, in any sort of medium, repetition makes you better at your trade.”

“I unloaded planes for UPS in Louisville, Kentucky. It only was bad because it was called 'Earn to Learn,' where you pay for your tuition for college, but you have to work graveyard shift - midnight to eight A.M. - and then go to school at nine or 10 A.M. I was a zombie after two semesters.”

“It's so funny how it's impossible for an American actor to play an English part or an Australian part. But by all means, come and bastardize our accent as much as you want.”

“I've never read a comic book in my life.”

“There's a lot to be said about stability. So many people don't get married nowadays - you see it less and less - but it's a shame if you don't ever have that experience of sharing something with someone else. It's a real shame.”

“I think Netflix is incredible! I travel a lot, so it keeps me company sometimes. I like 'Peaky Blinders.' I'm a big fan of Cillian Murphy, and he is quite the actor. I watch documentaries, mainly, but I've really gotten into watching scary movies. 'It Follows' is wicked.”

“There was no theater in my high school. I think even our art program was cut - it was so bad. I didn't even know that was a possibility in college or in high school; I hadn't even thought of it. It was pretty negligent. My father has run a bulldozer all of his life, and my mom is in real estate.”

“I always like to work with really good filmmakers and really good actors.”

“It's taken me a long time to get work, so that's why I like to play really different characters that are really foreign to me. I want it to be something great, and I want to have a great experience.”

“Love is the prize in life.”

“I've always wrote off the demographic of superhero films because it's just not really something I can relate to.”

“I think Ray Liotta in 'Goodfellas' is the best ever. Given that it was two hours, it was a little bit more theatrical, and I mean that in the most positive way.”

“There are all kinds of directors I want to work with and all kinds of films that I want to do.”

“I love hats. I love vests. I do like to look sharp.”
