character thinking skills
I start a boxing movie and that's kind of something I've been able to get to the gym for. It's great anytime you can parallel a skill that your character has. I just think it makes it even more rewarding.
rocks guitar parent
I drummed in some rock bands. I asked for a drum kit when I was 15 and my parents were kind enough to buy me one and I just started playing with my buddies who played guitar.
school piano band
I've played drums since I was 15. My sisters and I all played instruments. I kind of started with piano and then I actually played saxophone with a jazz band in middle school. So, any knowledge I had of jazz music was from playing alto-sax back then.
jobs doe roles
For me, the greatest kind of success that I've had on a particular project or in exploring a role does come through collaboration. I wouldn't want to do a movie where everything I do the director just says, "Good job" and I'm under directed.
character thinking people
I think my character rallies people together to go out and drink.
thinking
For me, as far as friendship goes, I think you truly get out of it, what you put into it.
sleep important body
If I don't have a schedule in front of me, I do enjoy sleeping. It's important for your body!
judging body care
I feel like my body doesn't judge the hours, you know? It doesn't care if it's daytime or nighttime.
sexy nice character
We were doing this close-up of my character on a cell phone, and the director's just like "Cut! Can we get somebody else's hand in there?" I do bite my fingernails, and you don't want to see a fat, bitten thumbnail on a 30-foot movie screen, so I get somebody with really nice, sexy hands and put 'em in there.
football fun bars
Just go to a bar, watch football - that's fun to me because I've not gotten to see anything because I've been travelling so much. Playing some shuffleboard and some pool and darts. I like kind of dive-y bars.
senior mom school
My mom is very proud of introducing music to all her kids. But I played in some bad rock bands my junior and senior years of high school.
mom home play
I was not a band geek, per say. But me and my two older sisters played instruments, so I would come home and my sister Dana would be playing the clarinet or playing the piano, and I would play the saxophone, my other sister would be singing, my mom would be singing. I was not afraid to be musical. That was not something that I thought was uncool.
responsibility character thinking
I think when you're looking for scripts or for characters around your own age, a lot of the times they don't have the kind of responsibility that is usually seen in parts that are older for you.
thinking serious film
I think I might do an animated film next. I'm serious.
