I never thought acting would be a realistic job for me. Because, quite frankly, I didn't see people who looked like me doing it. I quickly realized, that's all the more reason to try.

People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.

I don't get acting jobs because of my looks.

I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.

Acting is fun, and if you enjoy doing it, you should take it seriously and see what you can do.

I love acting. I do it as a hobby. If I was able to have that as a career... Hopefully the fashion thing is a stepping-stone. I was so worried when I started modeling that it would hinder my chances of acting.

It's a blessing and a curse. But it's not always the best situation to be in. As a profession, I don't recommend acting at all.

There are moments when I am really not happy with how I look, or I think it would be an easy way out to try and do the conventionally attractive thing. But part of it is that I don't have the energy to put on, like, makeup. If people want to do that, that's fine. But I've learned that it's not for me.

Any time you get a chance to do something different or get away from your appearance or get away from what people are used to seeing, I think it's always good.

When I was launched in 2010, people told me that I wasn't the best looking guy, so I would have to act really well. I am aware that I am not conventionally good looking. I have heard it so many times that I have started believing it.
