I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.

When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8.

Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business.

The whole thing of doing a TV series, I find it very daunting not knowing where the story's going.

I seem to play a lot of losers.

I had no ambitions to become an actor, whatsoever. I was just waiting for my films to get made and some friends of mine, out of the kindness of their hearts, because I was sitting around doing nothing, started casting me in small roles and the roles got bigger.
