My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

The big things I've had are things I bought myself.

But I've consistently worked for 10 years.

Even in my darkest times I knew I had a good future ahead of me.

I like to challenge myself and give myself a timeline. It pushes me to be more creative and actually do these things, not just dream about them.

My theory is, independent movies only work if you're willing to push the material and do something different.
