Robbie Amell Quotations

My dad's a jeweller, and my mom works for a bank.

I was playing a relatively high level of hockey, and I thought that's what I wanted to do. But I had my first movie audition, and I was hooked.

I've broken my wrist, dislocated toes and shoulders, gotten stitches, you name it. However, the worst was a severely bruised femur. I got body checked into an open gate while playing hockey. The doctor couldn't believe I didn't shatter my femur.

It's not really a guilty pleasure, but I love old cartoons. I could watch Bugs Bunny and Tweety all day long.

It's a really incredible time to be working in television.

I'm very interested in Ben Affleck as Batman. I actually think he's a great choice.

I'm a little worried about a Batman versus Superman movie just because it's... I just think it's really tough to pull off. I'm very excited about seeing it, but I think it's really tough to balance those two characters in the same movie.

It's nice to be playing a character who's never had a live-action version before.

Just being the first person to bring the character to life is really fun and exciting.

It's better to leave them wanting more than to be the show where people are like, "Oh, that's still on the air?"

I play hockey in a pickup league. I grew up playing, so it's nice to get on the ice whenever I can.

Everyone should have cheat days or days off. You need to balance the unhealthy with the healthy.

Luckily, I didn't get too beaten up before someone gave me a shot, but there were times when I was living on friends' couches and eating five-dollar subs from Subway almost every meal.

Every actor needs someone to take a chance on them.

My friends and family definitely helped me with the biggest obstacle in my life, which was just staying in L.A. long enough to really give it a shot.

A lot of my inspiration comes from the movies and TV, watching other people doing things that I one day hope to have the opportunity to do. The other sides would be my friends and family, people who have supported me and always been there for me. I want to do a good job for them and show them they were right for believing in me.

I try to get to the gym at least a few times a week, hopefully more. I also play hockey in a pickup league. I grew up playing, so it's nice to get on the ice whenever I can. With all that said, everyone should have cheat days or days off. You need to balance the unhealthy with the healthy.

I like to do my research, get in the right mental state for the person I'll be portraying. A lot of time, it's just incorporating a lot of what that person would be into, into my daily routine.

My girlfriend doesn't think I'm funny at all.

I grew up watching 'Power Rangers,' 'Ninja Turtles', 'Batman.' You name it, I was a huge fan. And that's what I used to play with my friends. We would have the masks and the swords and pretend we had super powers.
