Quotes

"Well, I try not to get into stressful situations. When I do, I start thinking logically. When that doesn't work, I go to the gym."

"I would never sacrifice my health. It is very important to me."

"I wouldn't change anything, because I was born this way. There is always room for growth, however."

"Being funny, open, and honest seems to work the best."

"I didn't know Adamo's character because I hadn't watched Degrassi. I thought he was maybe the reader."

" [On people asking him if he's gay or straight] I tell them that I'm a straight actor playing a gay role, and that I love playing the role. I don't want to leave people hanging. I'm not ashamed to say I'm straight! In the fourth season, I found myself being very comfortable kissing Adamo. For the first time, I didn't care what people thought. I was nervous and uncomfortable in the beginning, but as the scenes went on, it became more about making the moments real."
