I'm from Texas, and my dad was from West Texas. As I was growing up, he'd tell me about the Miners and then he'd say that it just shows that you can do anything if you try hard enough.
I had wanted to be a Calvin Klein model since I was 17. Marky Mark in his Calvin Kleins was the epitome of male sexuality. That was something I worked for.
If you can contribute 45 minutes - one hour a day a week exercising, you're going to be a healthy person. You can cut down on diabetes and all of these manmade problems we have. I do embrace the fact that I can maybe be a voice for people to realize that it's not as hard that people think. I'm a pretty passionate person.
I read a quote by James Dean when I was 17; he said, 'I'd rather starve than do a whole bunch of work that I don't care about.' The older I got, the more I understood what he was saying. If I want to do a whole lot of work that I don't care about, then I would probably be working in a law office somewhere.
I'm a nerd; I enjoy educating myself and learning things...
I've certainly never helped anybody save the day, in any capacity. If anybody is going to understand making a few mistakes, it's me.
