I'm a big hip hop fan.
I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
Professionally, I feel like I won the lottery and I am the luckiest person in the entire world.
'21 Jump Street' is great. I just made that, and produced it and was a writer on it. It's starring myself and Channing Tatum, and maybe some surprise guests.
I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.
Writing has made me a better actor. Acting has made me a better writer. So why wouldn't directing make me a better actor and writer?
As an actor, you tell part of a story. As a writer, you get more of telling that story. But as a director, they're seeing the world through your eyes.
I was thin in high school and then I gained weight. I went to a nutritionist. I learned for the first time about what things are healthy to eat, basically.
When I look at interviews from when I was that age, I come off different than how I am because I've matured - and I've matured, become a man in front of the public eye.
I think it's kind of strange when people talk about how hyped-up the movie is. It almost sets you up for a bigger fall.
The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.
Writing is as big a part of my career as acting is, financially and time wise. So, yeah, I love it. That's all I wanted to do since I was young was be a writer. So that and acting are the two most important aspects of my career.
I always say I want to eventually shift my career to directing and writing.
Maybe if you play somebody in a certain world people sometimes misinterpret that it's a support of that world or that occupation or something.
