Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Riley: I like romantic comedies. New York Minute is not as romantic of a movie as I would like to be in someday, but it's a step in the right direction.
-
Riley: When he's not working: I have way too many hobbies. I play guitar, and my buddies and I record music in a studio in my house. I have a couple of vintage Jeeps I'm always working on, fixing up. And I ride horses-I grew up on a horse ranch-and play basketball. I need to cut back on my hobbies so I can work more.
-
Riley: I go home to Iowa. I call it defrosting my heart. Everyone in Iowa is so simple a genuine. In this business, sometimes you can get cold-hearted. When I go, even if it's 20 below and snowing, I come back with a warm heart.
-
Riley: Acting is perception, and as long as I'm honest with myself in my work, someone will appreciate it.
