People think fame and money will bring you happiness. Fame actually makes life, especially human relationships, much more complicated.

It would be terribly boring to be earnest.

I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that's kept me in line. Really in line.

I always had an actor within me.

What guides me is to do work that's more avant-garde - things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.

It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.
