Here's the deal with Matty Morrison: He is the most unassuming, nicest, most humble guy, who also happens to be extremely talented.
Some guys just slip under the radar.
I don't really control the story. I just let it go where it wants to go. I have no idea what's going to happen in the end or who's going to live, so it's kind of like me saying, "I don't know, guys! Just wait." That's what I'm doing!
I don't know if you know this," Tobias says, "but Edward is a little unstable." "I'm getting that," I say. "That Drew guy who helped Peter perform that butterknife maneuver," Tobias says. "Apparently when he got kicked out of Dauntless, he tried to join the same group of factionless Edward was a part of. Notice that you haven't seen Drew anywhere.
I'm a random guy. I shake a hand and make a friend. I don't do egotistical things.
I'm the kind of guy who really likes a challenge. It's more rewarding.
To even get to the Olympics, I have to qualify for the 2013 World Championships and the standard is high. I know I am always going to be a few points behind the top guys.
I've always had problems with guys!
A good amount of the guys wanted to date me. Even older guys looking at me. It took some getting used to.
I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.
I'm the guy that's trying to break up that monopoly to introduce free enterprise and competition to the energy sector.
The problem that we have is that most Americans don't even study American history, let alone Pinochet, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin and all these guys.
Marlon was so sensitive, you thought the poor guy just had a bad education.
I hyperventilate opening a box of chocolates. I'm the most nervous guy in the world.
The vampire or the bad guy, that's what people do remember. Lars von Trier, like Guy Maddin, their films are made for a group of exclusive people who like special films. And they are special films, they are art films. And I started with commercial films at the beginning, and later on, because you know, when you are an actor, you have the same cliché like everybody else, you want to be in big films, you want to be known and all that.
When I grew up Carl Lewis was still running, Maurice Greene was running - he was that figure I see, like Michael Johnson. I really wanted to look up to the fast guys - so those two guys were some of the guys I looked up to.
I'm definitely more talented than most of the guys I know.
I imagined that being someday in pro ball I would have been Kevin Costner in Bull Durham. If I had never discovered acting, I literally would have been that guy.
I literally would have been the guy that would have played pro ball until they came to me and said, "Go home, you don't work here anymore."
I never was strutting through the hallways like, "Yeah, I'm a singer/songwriter." That's never a cool thing to do - to be the brooding guy.
I didn't know what to expect, but [Alexander] Wang is a great guy. He's always invited me front row to shows, and I performed at a few of his after-parties.
I've got the best job in the world, and i meet some of the most amazing human beings on the planet. I'm one lucky guy.
Our guys have a vision of something bigger.
The thing that bothers me is that it seems like all the sensitive stuff I write just goes unnoticed . . . the media doesn't get who I am at all. Or maybe they just can't accept it. It doesn't fit into those negative stories they like to write. I'm the kind of guy who is moved by a song like Don McLean's "Vincent," that one about Van Gogh. The lyric on that song is so touching. That's how I want to make my songs feel. Take "Dear Mama" - I aimed that one straight for my homies' heartstrings.
I'm not even the coolest one of my friends. I'm just the guy who sat down and wrote everything down. Like I know plenty of people who do crazier stuff than I do.
