Working with amazing people you continue to learn and develop yourself as an actor and as a person.

I'm an actor so sometimes there are moments where I think about everything that's happening and I want to cry. I'm doing what I love and I will be doing it for a very very long time - and it's amazing. A lot of people don't get to do that.

I believe I could have had a career in the music industry without 'X Factor ' but it was an amazing platform that propelled me to where I am now.

I still think that movies are amazing I respect actors and directors.

While I'm not a celebrity it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.

I'm not an Adonis that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.

The writing is really hard. You're alone. It really pulls it out of you. You pull it out of your head. But when you're a director you're shopping - you're picking this actor you're picking this scene. It's like the most intense kinetic high-speed shopping of all time. You sit in a chair and it will all come rushing at you like a wind tunnel.

It's important to say that actors can't act alone it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination and that's all you have.

There are only three things that can kill a farmer: lightning rolling over in a tractor and old age.
