I stay away from Speedos. That would cause me absolutely unnecessary publicity.
Look at social media. It's what we do, right?
Well usually if I'm having a sh***y day, I don't post anything. I don't go out just to tell everyone I'm having a great day, even if I'm not.
Before the 'Fast & Furious' promo in Manila, I went on a vacation in the Philippines 10 years earlier. I loved it. My 'Miss Saigon' friends showed me around.
If you work with amazing actors, you've got a master class happening in front of you. But [also] it's just acting at the end of the day.
I started doing [acting] for a living, no one really warned me about the amount of traveling I would do. I always thought everything was shot in Los Angeles.
When you're working, you're flying on someone else's buck. When you're flying on your own, you sort of go, 'You know what, I'd rather keep the dosh in my pocket to spend when I get there.
Sometimes it's not about the size of your role, it's about the machine that you're part of.
When you audition for something you do feel a little bit more legit. It's a validation that you are the right person for the job because they've chosen and they've seen you do something connected to that role.
A guy's biggest style mistake is definitely trying to look too cool. As long as you've got a good pair of jeans, a good pair of boots and a few good shirts, you're fine.
Every film, every fight choreographer, wants to have a different flair, have a different fight technique. So any film I've done that involved weapons has always been fascinating because everyone is different.
Good suits don't come from anywhere, though - I mainly wear Armani, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.
It's just hard to get an independent film made.
It's nice to be part of something that could grow into something else and be there at the beginning of it.
