“I say I want a break, but every time I have some down time, I don't know what to do with myself. I need to be doing something.”

“I do play the guitar, and I can sing, but just enough to carry a tune.”

“I grew up watching movies and television, and one day, when I was really young, I told my mom I wanted to become an actor, and she was really supportive and got me involved in local theater and commercials.”

“There was never a moment where I was intentionally cribbing from another actor. More so, I grew up watching other actors design the character of The Joker to me, and obviously, the part was paying tribute to The Joker, and so I wanted to, you know, perform it to the best of my abilities in a way that it seemed to be paying homage to the character.”

“With Scarlett Johansson, I always thought she was pretty, but then when I heard her sing, there was just something about her voice that made her really, really attractive to me. And I think she would be fun to hang out with.”

“I never really do the New Year's Resolution thing. I kind of just try to stay focused, not get too distracted, and do the best I can. And that's something I like to tell myself every year around New Year's.”

“The thing about being an actor is that you're acting. It's not that big of a deal of to play someone different from yourself.”

“I really enjoy dancing. When there's music around, I can't help it; I start dancing, especially when I'm with friends.”

“How I learned to read was by reading the captions on TV, and I grew up from a really young age watching tons of movies and television. Also, at the same time, I was a pretty hyperactive kid, kind of ADD.”

“You can't just look at someone and guess their sexuality. There's no point in assuming that every gay man has just one personality type.”

“I think the gay community, just like anybody, should be represented in all forms and all types.”

“Experiencing so many firsts, maturing as an actor, a professional, and a human. In the process, gaining friends, family, and the best coworkers a very lucky actor could ask for - and for this, I can be nothing but gracious.”

“I kind of grew up watching R-rated movies and more adult content because that's where all the best performances are.”

“As you live with a character longer, you claim more ownership over it. You become more defensive of it. It becomes like a person that you know.”

“'Prom' is a movie that follows a bunch of high-schoolers' lives leading up to the prom, the climax of the movie. It focuses all their struggles and the social pressures that prom creates on their lives.”
