cool lifestyle regular school society somebody
When you're young, it's all about the society of school and being cool, but they don't understand that somebody can be different and live a different lifestyle and still be a regular person. I was the same way when I was a kid.
always-trying people hiding
A lot of people that are always trying to be funny and "on" and performing are just hiding. It's just a cover for what they really are and how they really feel.
surf quiet get-away
I'm quiet and introverted, and I like to just be by myself a lot. I like to read, and just get away and surf.
serious cop gangsters
I've only played gangsters and cops, and I always have to be serious.
real writing want
The last thing a real cop wants to do is write a ticket. That's the truth.
jobs acting would-be
I get too involved with my job. If I was to do anything besides acting, I would be a fireman or a beat cop. I'd do a regular job.
doormat
You can't always be the jokester and the doormat.
football dream would-be
If I ever get the chance to do a football movie, that would be a dream come true.
grew raised
I grew up in the hood, and I was raised to hate cops. But then, I started to realize that they're people, and they have lives, too.
dating months people playing spend themselves
People usually spend the first two months playing themselves up, not really being themselves. You waste those two months - and then they tell you, 'You're not who I was dating the first month!'
area challenged football fun huge sports
I come from an area where it's mostly, like, football and basketball, those are the sports. So my brother started surfing... I used to make fun of him for it, and then he challenged me to do it, and I'm a huge competitor, and I did it ,and I got hooked.
cast fear gets good mine regular stuck worried wrapped
As an actor, you're always worried about getting stuck on a show that's not good because working actors need the paycheck. So being cast on a regular procedural, where everything gets wrapped up by the end of the episode, was always a fear of mine because that doesn't really test you as an actor.
