One of the things I have learned in this business is if you really want to stay and continue to do what you love and what you're passionate about, you have to have that stability. Fame can either make you or break you but once you have a steady career without even caring whether you're going to make a lot of money or not, then that's when you know you're not going anywhere. - on his 15 years in acting

"When I first heard that we were working together again, I felt nervous but I was looking forward to it at the same time. Honestly, I intentionally came in late to the set just so it wouldn't be too obvious that I was actually excited." - on working together again with former girlfriend Heart Evangelista after four years.

My biggest regret is I did not get that second chance. Why was I not given that second chance? I deserved that second chance. It's so unfair. I loved her, and that would never be gone. It's unfair and it's so painful that almost two years after the relationship, she still denies me. Before, whenever she calls me, I come to her rescue in a heartbeat. No matter what other people say, Heart's still different. She's my first love and I was her first love, so that's a big factor why I can't get over her just like that. We're okay now. We're friends, but that's it, purely friendship. Nobody could ever replace her in my heart. She's been a part of my life and always will be. Our relationship was too ideal that it's so hard to move on to a new relationship. We were both born on February 14; I thought at that time, we were soul mates. - On former girlfriend of 1 1/2 years Heart Evangelista & on their failed relationship
