I’ve been on so many movies. Generally, I haven’t gotten to be on the ground level. As of two years ago, in ‘Dear John,’ I got to really be on the ground floor. I wasn’t...

I have a tradition that I always steal my last costume on the last day of filming.

I think that the divorce rate’s over 50% for a reason. I don’t think people are taking enough time now to really see if they can make it work and live together.

Actually I have a tradition that I always steal my last costume on the last day of filming.

In wrestling, there is no retreat. No way to slow things down. In wrestling, you advance and advance, and being tired is just a lie to make the other guy think he can relax. It’s...

I’ve aways been good at picking up certain things, like sports and dancing.

Jim Thorpe is someone I’ve always loved. He was an Olympic athlete, you know, and a football player from back in the day. I’d love to play him. And then there’s a guy called Iceman...

Well, the first and only time I went hunting, I shot a deer, and it mortified me. I just couldn’t do it again. But I know a lot about guns, so I go to the...

I learned to appreciate repetition. That’s why I can dance. It’s how I learned to act. I have a high tolerance for repetition.

Someone who doesn’t take herself too seriously and can be a goofball. Because everyone’s a nerd inside, I don’t care how cool you are.

I grew up in Florida, where if you weren’t comfortable dancing, you weren’t going to get any girls.

It’s a hard thing for me to wrap my mind around the C word: celebrity. Rock stars are celebrities because they’re larger than life. As an actor, you have to play the everyman and the...

My bar for being successful is being able to do movies that really mean something to me and being able to make a living off of that.

Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Penn to me are the two best actors of all time. I’m just glad to have the pleasure to be in an era that they’re acting while I’m acting. They’re probably...

Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger.

With dancing, you have to know spatial movement with somebody. It is steps. It’s literally steps and knowing how close to be or how far away. You have to have the beat in the right...

I’ve always negotiated the world very physically, from football to tussling at the playground to taking my clothes off.

I used to work at a puppy nursery.

My parents couldn’t handle my energy so they enrolled me in every sport the school was offering. I didn’t resent it because I loved sports and picked them up easily.

It’s embarrassing to tell you how much my friends make fun of me. Seriously, when you have a doll made of your face, it’s ridiculous how creative your friends can get… pictures, videos, little animated...

I sort of became infatuated with soldiers. I got to know some of them and got a little perturbed with Hollywood making a spectacle out of them and making them look like they have screwed...

I’m not a political person. When I start to get into it, it just upsets me. I feel so powerless when it comes to politics. So I’ve just decided to be non-political and very, very...

I believe in love. I believe in good stories. I play really hard on the weekends because I like to have those stories. My wife and I go off and do craziness all the time....

I can’t do the same movies all my life. I’m conscious of that. But it’s a trade-off. ‘Dear John’ allowed me to do movies I’ve wanted to do. You learn to balance it out. I’m...

‘Jump Street,’ I knew we had a great time. It didn’t matter, didn’t know if it was going to do well.

Girls were always my biggest distraction in school.

I did ‘The Vow’ because I really love being in love.

It’s just weird that for some people, art is a luxury. My parents had no artistic outlet. Some people pass down music to their kids, but I couldn’t tell you what my mom’s or dad’s...

I had an all right high school, even though I hated school. I wasn’t massively popular, but I was okay. But I wouldn’t want to do it again.

The film is a direct mirror of the director. If your director doesn’t know how to dress, there will be an aesthetic of the film that won’t come through – whether it’s in the costumes...

I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug ‘Want to kill ya’ song, I’m ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song,...

I did not go to military school. I had an option either a military school or a private school. I don’t know how to get that out of the information that’s out there.

My wife always hates when I go, ‘I just don’t love female action movies.’ I don’t know why. I’ll watch them, but I don’t run to go and see them.

I think we all suffer from guilt at some point in our lives, but for the most part I never really regret, and I try to always remain positive. Yes, I think that those issues...

In all the movies I’m in love with someone in my head. There’s always love in a film somewhere. It doesn’t matter even if it’s an action movie.

It’s really hard for men to tell other men ‘I love you’ without putting a ‘man’ at the end of it. Like, ‘I love you… man.’ You just can’t look at another man and say,...

I like to be lean. If I get too bulky I can’t move well and I like to move. When I’m not training, I get really round and soft.

I just love cake, confetti cake, to be specific. It has little colored candies inside the cake, and then you get the confetti icing, which is really hard to find sometimes. It’s really hard to...

I think all jocks have a sensitive side. It’s just, will they show it to anybody? Will they let their guard down and stop being tough and the cool jock guy around their friends, or...

I still want to write Clint Eastwood a letter saying, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry for all us wimp actors. You’re the truth.’ I guarantee he’s not the person you want to fight, even now! You...

Everyone always talks about the speed of New York, and I still walk slow around New York, and everyone is walking faster than me all the time, and I notice it every time we go...

I had a bad stutter when I was really young. I couldn’t get a sentence out. Like, ‘D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-ad.’ And that turned into a mumble.

My mother taught me how to love. My mom is the most loving person I know.

‘m just going to be a good friend to my kid. One thing I definitely want to change is that whole ‘I don’t want you to make the same mistakes’ mentality. My dad didn’t have...

I’ve always had way too much energy so I’m always looking for new things to do to channel that energy.

I know I will never wear sandals now anywhere. I got in a fight in the back of a grocery store when I was really young, like 14 or something. And I remember my feet...

Truthfully, this is how I approach my workout: I want to be the best athlete I can possibly be. If I can out-perform some of the better athletes then I’m happy. When I look at...

I’m not a comedian. I can play off of people, but I’m not that guy. I don’t want people being like, ‘Yeah, he should have stuck with drama.’ It would not be my choice to...

I was terrified to do ‘G.I. Joe.’ I had no idea how to do one of those movies. I was kind of scared. You know, if one of those doesn’t work, it’s a huge hit...

But I’m not a tough guy or a street fighter for real. I’m just an actor.
