“People would probably say my mom raised very confident children, but it comes from a place of being comfortable in your own skin.”
“I absolutely do care what people think about me.”
“I used to have a big crush on Andie MacDowell.”
“I've been told that having an Instagram account will help me book more roles, get more endorsement deals. It makes you more of a brand. But I'm not interested. I want to build my fan base through movies and movies alone.”
“The only thing fame has changed about me is that I'm more self-aware when I go out in public.”
“I just got an iPhone, which is cool, but I don't download movies, I don't watch Hulu, I don't have Netflix. I don't do any of that. But I do geek out to music.”
“An anonymous person, which is 99 percent of the people on Twitter, can say my face looks like a foot or I'm Ted Cruz's doppelganger. That doesn't affect me.”
“'Footloose' is a fun movie. If you do it right, people should leave wanting to dance.”
“Going to high school in rural Florida, we always partied down in the woods. Somebody - one of the rednecks - would leave class and mow a path out to a field, and we'd drive out there. Dude, every party I went to was lit by a bonfire. Acoustic guitar.”
“I played music my whole life - piano, saxophone.”
“I'm a pretty light-hearted person.”
“I still think you shouldn't use acting as therapy.”
“I think about so many actors I look up to and wonder what people were saying about them at the age of 27 or 28. I'm sure it's not all flattering stuff.”
“Honestly, I'm not a big movie buff in general. The only movies I own is probably the 'Indiana Jones' trilogy.”
“I'm a pretty strong believer that everything happens for a reason.”
“When I was in middle school, I always did well in school, but teachers either loved me or absolutely hated me.”
“I've always felt like I can dance.”
“I was raised middle-class in a small town. I have all my same friends from high school. I'm close with my family. I'm dating a normal girl. So I want to feel people think I'm a man of the people. Because I feel that way.”
“I used to be very vain about my thumbs. I have fat thumbs. If there's a movie where you see me on the phone, it's not my hands.”
“I'm the first one out on the dance floor. In college I had to take jazz, ballet and tap dancing, but, before that, it was just social.”
