I wanted to grow up to be just like my father.

A father's disappointment can be a very powerful tool.

I guess that's what I was: a set of abs. And they lit the abs and shot the abs and sent the abs on their way. The photographer didn't look at my face once. I was humiliated.

I like parties, but I'm shy, and I often find myself standing around, feeling awkward.

My father was a sergeant with the Connecticut state police. My mother was a hairstylist.

I too have my own demons, and I have struggled. I've made my own mistakes, and I'm not proud of them.

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.

I spent two weeks prancing around a studio in Queens in my underwear with nine other guys. They were long days. But what the hell, it was Calvin Klein.

I'd gone to Manhattan to become a model.

It struck me that what I'd heard about certain celebrities was true: they had It, whatever the hell It was. Star power isn't a myth; it is tangible and forceful.

I wasn't even 20 at the time, but it taught me something about drugs. They can take a good man, a warm, funny, loving family man, and turn him into a loser and worse.

Even The Smallest Candle Burns Brighter In The Dark.

It's not about breaking down borders. It's about pushing off of them, and seeing what amazing places they might bring us.

The fact is that sin is the most unmanly thing in God's world. You never were made for sin and selfishness. You were made for love and obedience.

I love cinema. It is the most important thing to me. Life is cinema. It has been this way since I was a child of about 14, and I was going every day to see the movies.

They say the one thing that people who live the longest have in common is that they have a religious belief.

Whenever I get a tweet that's trying to promote a thing someone cares about, I'm like, "how annoying!"

Love is an affair of credulity.

Experience is the only teacher, and we get his lesson indifferently in any school.

My knees on the ground, dear father, don't let me break, please make me stronger.

It's cheaper to keep her.
