I was on a basketball team as a kid, and there were two twins who were a little older and a little bigger than I was, and there was some bullying going on there.

You can still be a man and have an emotional side.

True brothers don't let other brothers go down this path of irreparably damaging another human being as well as their own lives.

Any time you read the snide comments or people who have a hard time separating fictional television from reality, that's sort of just water under the bridge. It's easy to let that pass by if everyone in person is nice and warm.

Glee' is a great show in terms of tackling social issues.

Bullying has changed a lot through the years.

I do balisong knife twirling.

With a lot of these social stigmas, they just don't need to be in place. Just by talking about them, we can often shatter them.

Human beings are human beings, regardless of what makes us different.

With cyberbullying, one press of a finger on an electronic device can shatter someone's reputation and what they think is their entire life. It's scary.

I grew up with a cabin so we'd always go out and hunt and fish and all that good stuff. All of the cliche Southern things one would imagine.

When I was a kid, I was very much a perfectionist, and I had a bunch of different compulsions.

As an actor, I love playing something kind of outside of who I am as a real person.

You don't have people who are monsters and only do bad. There's good and bad for everybody. It's all a spectrum.

Over time I'm slowly living out all of my high school experiences on camera.

Well, I was actually home-schooled because I was already acting.

Respecting women is something I've imbibed since childhood.

I've been fortunate that the people I hang out with all respect women and men, so there's hasn't been a scenario where I've had to step in and say, 'Hey, this isn't cool.'
