I showed up in L.A. with $500 and a backpack and I stayed at a shelter, so nobody handed me anything. I worked for every single thing that I have.
She's so heartbreaking in this movie. I don't think they make enough awards to give her.
It was a real honor to be able to work with someone like that that I've been watching since I was a kid. I mean, to play his brother left some people scratching their heads but something about it really worked.
Andrew has talked about my character being the conscience of the film, the heart of the film.
I was never interested in 'Teen Beat' like roles. I just wanted to work.
It gives us a look into a world that's very much like 'Traffic' was for drugs, this movie is for gun running. Dark at times, but I think Nic Cage is an incredible person to watch and very entertaining.
We really bonded very early. He has a great sense of humor and was very kind to me. I learned so much from watching such an incredible actor.
It's nice because I think a lot of people would rather stay home and play a video game these days then go to a rock show.
It's a light homage. I wanted to show four guys facing their identity. The foundation of this nightmare of isolation, madness and fear was the starting point, but there are some more avenues explored.
We want to play whatever you want to hear. We're here for you, Toledo.
I come from a visual background, and I grew up around a lot of hippies and artists. My mom and my brother and I moved around a lot. We basically moved every couple of years, and I went to a lot of different schools. But creativity, for us, was always a way of life. It was never a job. Being an artist was a passion and a way of life.
I don't care if someone remembered me. Life is for living and memories for those who we leave behind.
Art is really predicated upon the experiences that you've had in your life. You only have to share what you've consumed.
I always love to put hidden messages in my music videos, because I know there are people like me who, when they watch something, are really active, involved participants. I'm not usually a really passive listener or observer. So I do put those messages in there for people who spend a great deal of time [looking for them].
