- Towering height
- On being groomed to play a football player in 'The Blind Side' I had two-a-day workouts, seven days a week, on the football field and then I had to lose weight, which meant if it tastes good it's not good for you. So I couldn't eat it.
- Growing up, I was not used to good things happening to me.
- Having a chance to be someone other than yourself and to act out stuff that makes people look at you, like, wow, and that's why I love acting so much.
- I feel like if I live the Christian life, then the people should be able to see it in my everyday actions.
- I like to be someone else. I like to be someone other than myself. I grew up watching movies and being a fan of what I'd seen portrayed in the movies, and I always wanted to do that one day.
