I wanted to be a visual artist because I grew up around a lot of painters and photographers and had a very artistic upbringing. And I fantasized about being a drug-dealer when I was a kid. I thought it would be a good opportunity; I knew that the market would be strong. Is that bizarre?
I'm terminally dissatisfied. That's probably part of being an artist.
I've always been interested in leaders and rule breakers and artists and politicians
As artists, it’s our job to delve into the uncomfortable, the difficult and the challenging.
I think that to explore the uncomfortable and the politically incorrect is the job of the artist.
I thought it would be a great opportunity to work with someone that I really like and really respect as an artist [like Alessandro Michele].
It's nice if people ask to use your song. You have to make a decision as an artist how you feel about that.
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.

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.
