I've been largely an improvisational actor for most of my career.
I don't think anybody chooses to be an underdog.
I've led a very eclectic life.
[The lyrics and melody] usually come a little simultaneously, but I would say the lyrics are first; usually I have the idea for a story in my head, or few lines.
Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.
Now, if you want to do realistic, kind of heavier acting stuff, you do it on Amazon or Netflix or whatever or HBO.
