“People tend to fear what they don't understand and in a pressure-filled environment with all sorts of personalities, it is very easy to cast unfair accusations.”

“I'm very lucky that being in the Bachelor world gives you a platform.”

“I've been called a villain and things like that, but I never put the blame on editing.”

“I think you can take things seriously and still have fun.”

“I think I would be open to any great opportunity.”

“Who doesn't love Captain Kirk?”

“It's incredibly tough dating multiple women and trying to have them enjoy the experience.”

“My parents are the biggest role models in my life, and if I find a woman that I can have a love like they have for one another, I'd be the luckiest man in the world.”

“I think sometimes you learn more about someone when they're upset about a situation and how they might communicate versus when things are going their way.”

“I'm a big believer in confidence, but I think sometimes that can be misleading.”

“In that world, 'villain' can simply be a label given to someone who doesn't conform. There are these unwritten rules in Bachelor Nation... I never follow those rules.”

“I had a great career selling software.”

“If you tell me you hit on my brother on a date, I might not be the most conversational.”

“I have always been incredibly grateful for my time in the Bachelor world, and while overall I have no regrets, my time on the show hasn't come without its hardships. But I have always been a risk taker and have always believed the greatest things in life often come with the greatest risks.”

“My priorities of having a family are still No. 1.”

“I think being the Bachelor is like nothing else.”

“A lot of people say I'm a lot nicer as a person than they thought I was, but I don't know what that means.”

“It's been over 10 years since I've lived in Wisconsin, but it'll always feel like home to me.”

“I'm someone who likes to acknowledge the obvious and not feel like we must do or say things because it's what we're supposed to do.”
