But it's tough what we're doing here -- selling a movie. I like to know to as little as possible about movies that I'm interested in seeing.
I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.
I've lost three of my buddies. Three of them died, and I'm the one who survived. They weren't just co-workers, they were my friends.
I've always tried to mix up my roles as much as I can.
I guess I'm not like Emily Dickinson who keeps things wrapped up in a ribbon in their top drawer.
I don't even know what Instagram is, All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding.
One of the things I want to do that's outside the realm of acting and the arts - although both have their place in this - is ending childhood hunger here in America.
One in four kids in the U.S. faces hunger.
My father was so in love with showbiz, all the different aspects - what we're doing here, making the movies, everything about it.
Often, when I finish a film, I'll have that feeling inside me: 'I never want to do this ever again. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.'
We're here for such a short period of time. Live like you're already dead, man. Have a good time. Do your best. Let it all come ripping right through you.
Ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance. I love to draw and paint; I do ceramics and photography. I'm interested in a lot of creative stuff.
And that's one of the great things about actors: their willingness to play and to do something.
My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me.
