On his first crush:
"Princess Leia from Star Wars. I actually met Carrie Fisher a couple of years ago. When I told her that she was my first crush, she insisted that we get married and have a reality show about it. I’m lucky to have made it out of that weekend without getting married."
On his role in "Magic Mike" as Big Dick Richie:
"Hell yeah, women ask for proof. That’s one of the reasons you take the part."
On understanding thong wearers:
"Yes, they’re insanely uncomfortable. But women do a lot of uncomfortable things for men – and I appreciate it all. I appreciate high heels. I appreciate thongs."
