suffering commit ifs
I always have the fear that, if I don't commit 100 percent to my work, then it's gonna suffer.
stuff kind abstract
I guess my experience with some stuff is kind of abstract.
acting process enjoy
I just I don't feel challenged by acting anymore. I don't enjoy the process anymore.
animal rights vegetarianism
Animal rights is a part of my everyday life. When you live by example, you create a certain level of awareness. Friends of mine - people I have never discussed animal rights or vegetarianism with - are adopting vegetarian habits because they see it.
acting building parachutes
For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.
stupid thinking laughing
I don't think one should be comfortable standing on a stage with people applauding and laughing at every stupid thing you say.
cry humour enjoy
I enjoy humour more than anything, I don't really sit around banging my head and crying all the time.
intense
For me, I'd rather have an intense experience than not.
kids thinking our-generation
I've always loved hip-hop, since I was a kid, that's the music that I loved. I think everyone of our generation kind of fantasized about hip-hop in some ways.
writing listening sitting
I enjoy writing rhymes and sitting alone in a room listening to beats. It's pretty amazing.
certain amount
Every movie soaks into you for a certain amount of time.
fun play guy
I don't know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don't knock it. Villains are much more fun.
want actors offers
The offers were, like, a lot of money - maybe not for other actors, but definitely for me. But I don't want that power. I don't want $20-million power.
thinking interviews shows
I think the day that I become comfortable doing interviews and going on talk shows is the day that I don't know what it is to be a human being anymore.
