I didn't come from any money, but even when I was on 'Big Love' - people think you're on a series and you're making bank.
I don't even draw on my life experiences when I'm acting. I just try and make it feel like I'm living through that person's skin.
I don't understand why every guy is not a romantic. I enjoy it.
I gravitate toward edgy, intense, dark films that just grab you by the throat.
I knew that I tend to always gravitate to the indie side of things.
I was on the snowboard team at my school, but that was the only sports team I was on. I played soccer growing up in elementary school.
I've been a fan of Burberry for a very long time and they've been so supportive of me for many years.
My father's a Southern Baptist minister. I wasn't lighting cars on fire; I just wasn't.
My favourite job hands down - and I think I can speak for everyone involved - was 'Breaking Bad.'
My first gig was a Corn Pops commercial. I did the first Vanilla Coke campaign. A Juicy Fruit commercial paid my bills for years.
The first album I ever bought with my own money was 'Ten.' Every single song reminds me of my childhood.
I moved back to Idaho when I was 6 or 7 and then lived in a little town called Twin Falls and then moved to Boise. So quite different from L.A. I'd been to Disneyland a couple of times, and that was the closest I'd been to L.A.
I consider myself absolutely a character actor, and that's what I want as a career. I don't need to be the lead star or any of that, as long as I'm doing stuff that I'm proud of, really.
I get random meetings, like, 'Ron Howard would like to sit down with you.' 'Really?' If 'Breaking Bad' hadn't happened, Ron Howard probably wouldn't want to sit down with me. Because he would have no idea who I was.
