Cam Gigandet Quotations

To be let go from a soap opera is the most embarrassing confidence basher in the world. It's like, 'Oh, if I'm not good enough for that, I'm not good enough for anything.

I want to try new things and put myself out there and take some risks.

I moved to L.A. right out of high school, but not to act. I think I chose it because it was on the same time zone as Seattle, where I'm from.

I love pain. Love pain.

I could live a thousand years and still not know everything, still not have tried anything.

Why not do as much as you can, and learn as much as you can about each process?

I grew up playing sports, football, basketball, baseball, everything, and acting was such a different environment and different world for me.

I was meant to play the bad guy, for always and ever.

I don't actually go out and pursue a route that will fit me best, it's just that something comes to me and I enjoy it and want to be a part of it.

In the past, I would try to control so much, but that's just too stressful, and gives me too much anxiety and worry.

I can't hear music. I don't understand it. It's so above and beyond me.

I've played so many jobs where I'm fearless, but it's far from me. I wish I were like that in real life.

Idling is not my strong suit.

It's a collaborative art form where we can both learn something from the other. That's what you want from the relationship with a director.

To be completely honest, it's shocking to me that I keep getting the villain roles! I do not see myself as the villain and I know, growing up, I was the opposite of a villain. I would never try to be a villain to anyone - but maybe other people I grew up with feel differently about that.

I'm fascinated with worlds where there's a small population left, whether it's a movie or these TV shows that fascinate me - 'Falling Skies' or 'The Walking Dead' - they are about survival and triumphing over difficult times. I just have a thing for 'em.

I was so lucky to have parents who supported me, 100%, with whatever I was doing, both financially and emotionally. Having that they made my life so much easier. Instead of becoming a bartender and trying to survive while trying to pursue your dreams, I didn't have to worry about that aspect. I could just pursue my dreams.

I can get bored with any show, when it goes on too long.

You know, it's such an insult to actual martial artists that I say that I do martial arts.

Well, I like chocolate stuff; I don't like any of that other gross sugary candy.

Through all the bad guys that I've played, they're justifiably bad - they have their reasons. It's been important to me.

it's never been a plan to have this or that. It's just where I am in my life, at that time, and where my path is going to go.

The future doesn't matter if I don't enjoy what's going on right now.

It's such a challenge to play a good guy - it's hard to be believable.

Anything - a destination, a person - that has some mystery around it becomes exciting and attractive.

People don't want to hear about it if you're frustrated with your big career break.

It's been great having my little girl. It's like having a workout 24 hours a day. I don't need to go to the gym! I'm chasing after my daughter everywhere she goes.

I moved to L.A. right out of high school, but not to act. I think I chose it because it was on the same time zone as Seattle, where I'm from.
