I wouldn't take on the project unless I could have complete creative control in casting.

And out of all the movies, I don't know what it is, I'll always sit down and watch our 'Footloose'. I cry, I get excited, I cheer, my heart pounds. I really enjoy it.

I was chubby and awkward, and the only way I could really meet girls was to join children's theater, so that's what I did.

I think that there's a particular type of person who goes into children's theater, and then goes into theater in high school. There was something about the guys I knew in theater, we were all very vulnerable. You could tell that at some point we were made fun of.

I've done movies where I've had to cast actors and teach them to rap, and cast rappers and teach them to act.
