constantly fail freedom love
I feel that, as an actor, you're constantly working to become better, which I love, but with painting, I can fail on my own terms. There's a freedom in that, so that's why I love to paint.
best example supposed thrive
I always say that I'm at my best when there's no example of what the character is supposed to be. I thrive when there's not much and I have to create it.
create force love paradigm roles turns using
I love roles that don't really have a template or a paradigm and force me to create using my own imagination... that really, really turns me on.
genre
I really enjoy working in genre series, because you really have to create the characters.
black burned cross experience family life moved parents previous states united year
I feel like my life experience is that of an outsider. Let me explain: my parents are from Panama, and they moved to the United States the year after I was born. They moved into an all-white neighborhood, where the previous black family had a cross burned on their lawn.
definitely
I definitely was a big comic collector as a kid.
changed family pronounce
I changed my name at 14 because no one outside of my family could pronounce my first name correctly.
chat looking
In the 'Angel' days, all there was was a community that was like a chat room. If you were looking for feedback, you had to look for it.
absolutely good
I like to paint, I'm absolutely no good at it, but I'm so comfortable with that because it's good for me to have something to fail at.
art fans kicks
I really love fan art, which I get sent a lot of. I really, really get a lot of. I get a kick out of it.
roles obsession someday
Gunn, like me, has a James Bond obsession. He would love to be James Bond, and it's a great role that I would love to be, someday.
