I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor.

There's obviously something that feels very good about being with a new filmmaker who's very excited, but I also think there's something very comforting in a director who's been around a few times. Both have their pros and cons.

I have a lot of different influences. Everything from Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani, The Clash, Kanye West - just a lot of different artists.

Whenever you want something that you're not going to get, suddenly the whiney 3-year-old comes out in you.

I'm so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they're really not that bad.

In the past I've been very into the falling part, very into the swimming in the dark, deep emotional water. 'Rampart' I really went into it and it took me three times as long to get out of that depression as it did to just do the scenes. I had to learn to give it my all and then go home and laugh.

I want more awareness of humanity in this world.
