I always used to be more of a city guy, and more and more I'm starting to enjoy being in nature.
When it comes to being a techie, I'm always precise about the things that I want to know. I love understanding how things work.
Although I miss my family and friends when I'm away from Amsterdam, I've never had that feeling of missing a city like I have with New Orleans. Especially for the music.
I started acting as a kid and doing advertising campaigns. I was probably 8 years old, and I really liked the attention.
There was not an industry for child actors. I never really made any money. It was all about fun for me.
I played soccer, and I played in a band, and sometimes I was able to do a movie. And my school would cooperate. It was a very easy way to roll into what later became my profession. It's more innocent. When you're a child actor in the U.S., it's a different thing I think.
I went on to host a kids' program from when I was around 10 until 15. In some ways I'm a child actor.
I respect motorcycles so much. They've come such a long way. It's amazing!
I'm always repeating myself. You never just do a scene once, you do it an insane amount of times.
The funny thing is, whenever I'm working on something, I kind of forget there's a lot of people watching. It makes it easier to be in the moment and to tell a story as well as possible.
It sounds so weird, but I'm totally pro-aging. If you look at the film industry, it's so funny how it's so much more accepted that actors begin their prime in their forties or fifties, and for women it's so different. I think it's time to change that. Aging is a beautiful thing.
