life work
I think if you only work, then you won't have a life. It's tough to have a life when you're working a lot.
affected amazing good wanting work
You can't be a good actor if you get too affected by fame. Because then you're not real, and you're not really wanting more. You look at a lot of actors who, before they were famous, did a lot of amazing work, and once they got too big, it just got off.
looking stuff work
I'm looking forward to, as an actor, having to do some stuff that's out of my comfort zone. It makes for interesting work and when you're uncomfortable doing something; then it's going to be interesting when they film it.
east hamptons worker
Growing up on, say, the Upper East Side, you're so isolated. If you go to the Hamptons every weekend, you never talk to a construction worker, and the construction worker would never talk to you.
family hours people producing thirteen time understand work
I'll work thirteen hours at a time producing a new track. Not a lot of people understand that - not girlfriends, friends, family.
acting almost along beginning bring dad home photos stick taking
My dad was always taking photos of us at home, and even on set - he'd bring us along and stick us in the photos in the background. It was almost the beginning of acting for me, like, 'Hey, you go over there and play basketball in the background, and don't even think about the camera.'
age concept early job pull understood
From an early age, I understood the concept that, if you're not the star, then your job is to not pull attention away from the star.
movies whatever
I want to do movies, television and theater. Whatever comes along.
club crowd dj music nightlife people
Some nightlife places, people aren't there for the music, and it's depressing. I'm not just a club DJ; I am a producer, and I'll only DJ when the crowd is there to enjoy the music.
absolutely good social
I absolutely should be on social media, and I think every person who's an influencer should be, and should be doing good things.
My fans are going to be there for me.
tweet tweeting
Sometimes I'll write a tweet that I'll just be like, 'Why do I have to say this to all of these people?' It's like writing a Facebook status: it's the same. I view tweeting as like writing a Facebook status. Remember when we used to write statuses?
hang hottest love pick
I love when a girl is like, 'I can't hang out. I have to go to class.' And I go pick her up, and she's all sweaty in a leotard with her hair in a bun. That's the hottest thing ever.
assignment cell couch exist fourth gave graduated imagine lower period phones principal summer time
When I was in lower school, I graduated from fourth grade, and the principal gave us a summer assignment to take a 30-minute reflection period every day. And, of course, there were no cell phones at the time. She said to just think. And that's lost. It doesn't exist anymore. Just imagine being on a couch and just thinking.
