Quotes
"In the beginning of every year, I sit down with my team and I tell them the roles I'd like to play because, as with a lot of other actors, there are a lot of other actors out there like me. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and I'm big enough to play the stupid jock or the star football player. Being choosy allows me to not be typecast. I really enjoy playing a lot of different characters. I've gone from a Marine to a vampire to a jock, and I've changed my hair and grown it out. Now, I'm playing high school again. I'm not afraid of being typecast, but I love being able to switch it up and seeing how far I can go with the boundaries."— August 8, 2008MediaBlvd Magazine: Kellan Lutz And His High Profile Projects
"At church during a baptism and at the time my ringer was "I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE!!!" from Sir Mix-a Lot's Baby Got Back. The volume was on high and I couldn't get my password to work for the phone for a good 15 seconds to turn the ringer off. Talk about embarrassing!!! Wow that just made me smile again."— August 5, 2008 on the most embarrassing place his cell phone has gone offSwitched: Generation Kill Dreamboat Kellan Lutz Talks Cell Phones
