I play the keyboard, piano - I like making beats.

I used to paint a lot of oil and now I paint more mixed-media stuff.

I read everything I could find: books and online. Sometimes bigger revelations came to me through finer details or something that you wouldn't pick up just by surface reading.

Making a movie is, for me, like painting. I just enjoy the care that goes into every brushstroke and the choice of every color. I enjoy the intensity of it.

I'm a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice. But at the same time, I appreciate and respect other people's decisions to eat meat. The only thing that I hope is that people are educated, that they're aware, that they're living a conscious lifestyle.

I'm portable. I carry a laptop and a little recording studio on my back.

There are so many different ways to develop a character - physically, mentally, spiritually and all of that - but the research was really beautiful.
