I was responsible for Brandon Lang, ... That was my job, to be able to make a believable character who you can understand and go through the whole story with." ()
I've read a lot of really great characters in some really crappy stories, where I said, like, 'Boy I could shine here, but the story sucks.' I don't want to be part of that.
The character I portray was not first on the list. There were others who didn't want it. One (took it), stayed a couple of days and moved on." ()
I love Los Angeles, and it's been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who's living them? You don't play characters that are celebrities - you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank's blocked.
That's what interested me in the character of him. He sees things differently. He was not as connected to the community. He was a bit of an outsider, not local. It was let's coach football, take baby steps, do what we have to do. He likes to philosophize. He's got opinions on everything. He'll let me know. It's an honor to be stepping into his shoes. What he did was life inspiring things." ()
I thought this was a great story about a winner who starts losing, ... And if you're a winner, what do you do if you lose, and how do you get out of that hole?" ()
Kids will remind you that, even though you've gone down a road 100 times, it's brand new for them - and that's healthy.
such an exotic underworld that we know a little about, but not much. I've wanted to explore it for a while." ()
My wife and I don't compete. We know each other's preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That's what friends do.
Without exercise, I don't feel like my head works right.
I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods - that's where I'm really happy.
I don't dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it's gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin' White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It's connected to where you are today.
Whether I'm running on the beach without my shirt or whether I'm going out with my kids or going to church or going out to dinner - I don't choose to insulate myself in engaging in real life. Hence, the public kind of almost knows me as much through my real life that they see through the rag mags.
To bring a healthy child into this world, raise them right and watch them grow is the biggest miracle there is.
