I'm kind of ADD in that sense where if I start liking something, I'll just learn it to the absolute max.
I do love horses, but I'd rather be on motorcycles.
Anyone who spends time on the road knows there's something special about being in the middle of Utah or Nebraska - you sit with it, and there's a peace about it. You can go left or right, and it opens up all kinds of doors. You take your own path.
That's one of the great things about being an actor. You get to learn all these things normal people don't get to learn.
I was raised by a strong single mother.
I grew up with a single mother, and I wasn't out shooting too many guns.
I was a skateboarder when I was little; I still skateboard. I teach my kids how to skate.
When I did play team sports, I was into soccer and hockey. I loved hockey. And then rock climbing became the thing that got me out of Iowa, and I traveled the world for rock climbing. I really loved the, I guess you would say, dirtbag lifestyle of not eating much and traveling the world and slipping into different cultures and just observing.
When I got 'Stargate: Atlantis,' I said, 'Man, I'd love to be on HBO.'
I couldn't get a job to save my life. That's why I wrote 'Road to Paloma.' That got into Sundance and got into that scene, and that's how I got the role in 'The Red Road.'
I'm just gonna make art myself. I have a lot of ideas of things I wanna do and really talented people and friends I'm around, so we decided to make our own thing and set out to do it.
When you're just an actor, you do your role, and then you're in your trailer. It's not as hands on as when you're directing. You live and breathe it.
Swimming can be boring. To me, it's like going on a treadmill.
My mom's an artist in every way. She's a painter, a photographer. She's a wanderer - always searching, always seeing. I guess you could say my mom gave me her eyes.
I'm a Batman fan from Day 1. My daughter's favorite is Wonder Woman, and my son loves The Flash, Cyborg, and Superman.
I get up at 5 A.M., and I train hard. I've got two young children, so I have to get up early. But I like it.
