My mother had me when she was 15. My father died before I was born. So my mother was a teenage widow, and she used herself as her greatest example so I wouldn't end up in her position.

I played small forward on the basketball team. I also ran the 300 hurdles.

I've been an actor now since freshman year of college, so it's 11 or 12 years.

I've been playing American football since I was six years old. I was a captain of my high school team, playing strong safety.

While American football is very structured and linear and static - where everyone lines up, and there's a burst, and it happens - soccer is like the cosmos. It's like constellations. It's bodies moving in space. It's a very spherical game.

In high school, the fastest I ever ran was like a 4.67; that's pretty fast. But then, I only weighed 168 pounds.
