I've learned by watching films that inspired me and people who inspired me like Robert Redford and Paul Newman. I love old school acting. I love subtlety, and I also love being spontaneous, and that's really what works for me.

Los Angeles is a very magical place when you take the entertainment industry out of it. You have beautiful beaches and amazing mountains here. I'm a big rock climber. I head out into the mountains whenever I have free time. It's amazing.

My dad's one of my biggest heroes. I also think Paul Newman's an inspiration. I know a lot of people say that, but I love that he's a great role model and a humanitarian. I admire people who don't necessarily want to change the world, but try to make it a better environment.

The thing is when you play a character it's the persona you bring across from a book to film, or book to script to film. If I play Frank Sinatra, there's gonna be things I do in a movie that Frank might not have done, but it's the personality that comes across.

There are not many places in the world where you can get to the beach in an hour, the desert in two hours and snowboarding or skiing in three hours. You can do all that in California.

To act alongside a TV idol of mine, Peter Krause, was phenomenal. I watched him in 'Six Feet Under,' I watched him on 'Dirty Sexy Money' and I'll carry on watching him, and I've been lucky enough to be a part of that world with him.

Being an actor in L.A. is like being in prison: you go, you serve your time, you try to replicate Johnny Depp's career - and then you move to Paris.

'I Am Number Four' is a great story about a guy who's trying to find his destiny and figure out who he is and his identity.

I love New York. I love L.A. too. I love both places.

I love traveling, but I hate planes.

I prefer to play the bad guy - it gives you more freedom as an actor.

I remember reading 'Disturbia,' one of the first scripts I ever got, and I go 'Pfft, who wants to make a movie about a guy in a house?'

I think most actors are insecure and scared of rejection.

I want to have lots of bodyguards around me and be surrounded by beautiful women while watching my brother play at Wimbledon.

I wish I had some interesting stories about living in L.A., but mostly I just do my work and then go home.

I'm forever a Pittsburgh Pirates fan. Apparently I've picked the worst baseball team in the world.

I'm the gypsy man. I don't really live anywhere. I've got a roof over my head in Los Angeles, and I've got a lot of friends everywhere.

I'm too scared to perform onstage. I'm not very good with big crowds.

I've heard I've been called a bad boy, or difficult.

Look, every actor has a different way of preparing or creating a character and yeah, we all are from different backgrounds.
