Personal Quotes[]

"Riding motorcycles is in my blood. If I ever stop riding, I might as well stop breathing."
"Acting is very similar to racing. I would practice and practice but nothing could take the place of just racing. It's how you get better....faster. You can take all the acting classes in the world but there's nothing like being on a set. It's the best training there is."
"I was too chicken to be a stuntman so I became an actor. They are my heroes man."
