art school kids
It's hard sometimes when you're in a regular high school, you just feel like the odd kid out. The great thing about going to an art school [is] it's kind of like it's all the odd kids. It's all the kids that don't fit in at their regular schools, because you're into something and excited about something that other kids really aren't into. When you go to art school, everybody's kind of on the same page.
noir josh
I'm not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I.
school hard-work opportunity
I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.
work-out acting construction
If the acting don't work out, I'll have a future in construction.
dirty fighting people
People fight for their regulars. It gets dirty sometimes.
essence community black
If you look at the true essence of the Black Panthers, they were more of a community protection group.
would-be united-states neighborhood
If everyone invested in the neighborhood they lived in, the United States would be a magical place.
destiny people choices
The choices that we make through our lives, the people who intersect us on our path kind of change what our fated destiny is. So some of us are lucky enough for the choices that we make to keep us on our path.
fun opportunity interesting
If I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I'm going to do that.
practice lines able
Practice your improv more than learn your lines. 'Cause there's no way you'll be able to learn all those lines in a short time. You have to realize what you know and what you don't know - and what you don't know, just come up with three alternate lines or improv that you can put in that spot.
thinking people style
Acting is the only medium were people think they can just stand up and do it because they can say lines, but that is not so much the case. You have to study styles and techniques.
taken people caught
I just don't understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.
guy way helping
What was funny, going to the gym, you see all these guys who are just massive. There's no way a person can naturally get that way. In the gym, you meet these guys and you talk to them, and everybody's really willing and open to explain to you what cycle they're on and to help you get on it.
country military believe
I haven't been able to grasp the concept of putting your life on the line for whatever reason people go into the military for. Some people just want to pay their bills, some people believe in their country and some people do it because their parents did it, but that's rough.
