“My older sister showed me 'Hellraiser' when I was, like, 4, and 'Friday the 13th.' She kind of scarred me, but I like watching scary movies with people because you're together in this scary situation. It makes all that more fun.”

“Elvis is this thing, this commodity, and people forget that he was a real person.”

“It all started in Michigan. My dad got a job in Michigan, so we all moved up there from St. Louis. I kind of hung out in the summer and had nothing to do, so I sort of got into acting. And then I was going to Grand Blanc High, doing the acting thing and hoping it would pan out.”

“I'm not very good at dating.”

“I started acting, when I was 15, in commercials and guest roles. I was definitely a working actor, so I was thankful for that. But I never had to work at a store, although I would have liked to.”

“I was a big fan of all the 'X-Men' films growing up.”

“A lot of people don't know that I'm really a silly guy. I don't take anything seriously. It takes a lot of energy for me to take something seriously.”

“As a kid, I was more scared of the supernatural stuff and ghosts and goblins and the Crypt Keeper from 'Tales from the Crypt.' I was always scared he would chase me up the stairs, as a kid.”

“It's scary how effective movies can be. It's a very powerful medium that I think is sometimes abused.”

“I think comedy and horror are very similar in that there's a very direct intention. So you're trying to be funny, or you're trying to be creepy, and that literalness - I take to that.”

“My favorite actors are Jim Carrey and Chris Farley, Tom Hanks, Robin Williams. Robin Williams is the best - to be able to do all that comedy but also be heartbreaking.”

“I was a big fan of Shia LaBeouf and 'Even Stevens' and was like, 'Oh, man. I would love to be on Disney Channel and have a show,' because it was what I watched.”

“I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. I lived in Grand Blanc, Michigan for a year and that's when I got involved in acting and took classes there. A manager who saw me at the agency I was at in Michigan wanted me to come out to L.A.”

“I actually watch 'The Walking Dead.' I like 'The Walking Dead' a lot.”

“'American Horror' in particular is a really crazy show. We have crazy crap happening to us on that show.”

“And I love Jennifer Lawrence. She's a total fox. And such a good actress. It's ridiculous.”

“I would love to do a romantic comedy.”

“I love acting classes. I think they're great. It's like working out in the gym. It's a great place to figure out everything that's working and what isn't working.”

“I'm not the best actor I can be, so I'm just working on it. I'm not the quickest reader in the world but when I get an acting book I can read it in two days.”

“I don't like to yell and scream. I actually hate it.”
