Taylor Kitsch

Talor: (On where he seeks his inspiration for playing Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights) His looks come from a movie called State of Grace. His hair and some of the mannerisms are from the character played by Gary Oldman. I love watching Sean Penn and take as much as I can from him for this character, but I also have to make him my own, so a lot of his personality comes from what I choose.

Taylor: (On his role in the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie) It was a lot of fun. I learned a lot working with Hugh Jackman and Liev [Schreiber]. It was just incredible. I'm super excited just to be a part of a project like that, you know?

Taylor: (on playing Gambit in the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie) The character is so much fun. It's gonna be fun to watch.

Taylor: (on Friday Night Lights being renewed for a third season) I can't wait to play Riggs one more go at least, you know? It's a comfort zone, it's so free, it's so...Riggs is a lot of fun, you know? I hope you guys have a lot of fun watching him again this year.

Taylor: Mark my words, if ten years from now you're seeing me on those red carpets at every premiere possible, posing with these toys...never, never, never, never, no. I'll be back home on the lake, on the boat, hanging out with friends and family.

Taylor: (on playing Tim Riggins) I think it's any actor's dream to do this kind of role.

Taylor: (on his first job cleaning outdoor toilets) Any job you start you know you're going to be that try-hard kid of the year, you know, you're scrubbing those toilets and you're just going to be going off, but soon you realize, that hey- you know what- it's a Biffy, you know, no one is going to walk into this thing going, "Whoa! Someone did a bang-up job cleaning this thing."

Taylor: (on receiving his role on Friday Night Lights) When I walked in the door the phone's ringing. Manager is like, "You're Tim Riggins." Take the phone off, and I'm like, 'Whew!' So many things are going through you head, like, 'Oh my God...I tricked 'em. I got 'em. Now what? I have to actually act and be this kid?'
