"When I shot for Sears eye-wear. The stylist had to cut my hair on the set. I just had a difficult time with the whole thing. The irony is, that after I grew the hair back, I only recently had it cut and actually prefer it short, the way they wanted it. So you never really know."

"Acting really is an “outside-in” process. We build a character by making him credible. Just as a good photo can be captivating just by being natural."

"I am quite comfortable doing the body shots. Maybe because I feel content and secure that I was able to change myself from being 40 pounds overweight. I didn’t think I would be able to persevere the way I have. It’s as though I want to say to people, “I did it and you can, too.”

"five things I can't live without? Wow, ok.. hmmm, let’s see, Jeez, ok, my BlackBerry... wait, no, I guess I could live without the thing ‘cause I was in the Catskills mountains for the holidays and there was no signal and I survived just fine so I can live without it... although when we found a signal, I scrambled like a true junkie! Ok, five things... seriously, water is one. I drink a lot of water! I hear it prevents all sorts of diseases. Coffee, for sure, especially Vanilla Soy Lattes! Definitely my positive outlook (I guess that and my imagination). What are we up to? The last one only counted as one, so two more; my agent and advisor (man, I hope he feels the same way!) and finally, I suppose my faith. I think once you lose faith, well, it’s all over."

"Be patient. Patience is the key to everything worthwhile. Some say it is an over rated virtue but it does hand-in-hand with waiting. It’ll come. If you really want something -- REALLY want it -- you will get it. We do become what we think about."

"The best thing about modeling are the residuals! Ha ha. Although I enjoy modeling, let’s face it, you out grow it. Whether you like it or not! I really do enjoy acting. It’s thrilling from the moment you hear “rolling...” your adrenaline starts pumping and you are like a horse barreling out of the starting gate.

For Stefan, rejection is part of life, nobody wants to be rejected however it can always happen anytime "The thing is, you don’t always know that you were rejected. You just don’t hear back! But you still go and give it your best shot (sometimes, that is simply just showing up). You know what? I think it was the guy who invented the rotisserie, that said you just “set it, and forget it!”. I will definitely not forget how friendly and accommodating Stefan is, we had some delay on his feature because of the ExpressMEN competition and Stefan was really so nice and understanding.
