I don't know why people think I'm this ad-lib dude.
I used to be a dusty little child.
I would love to play Magnum P.I.
We all take losses and it's about getting up and coming back.
You can get really bored in this business [film], and I think that's one of the reasons why I've challenged myself so many times in different areas because you can get really bored and stagnated in one area.
