I don't get a lot of choices in movies. It's not like I'm Brad Pitt and I can walk in and go here's the film I want to do and everyone runs around... I don't have that. I stand in line and do auditions. I'm there with 80 other guys trying to be that guy. Every once in awhile I luck out.

It's not lost on me that everyone dies, but some people have a kind of immortality about them, and you can't imagine that they will ever be gone.

The opportunity to write for the 'L.A. Weekly' has been one of the better breaks that has come my way in a long time.

You might as well enjoy the day - you never know when and how painfully it could all end.

I love capitalism. It rewards me for being brave - it awards me for being innovative and thinking out of the box.

I'm not trying to amass people in the streets. I just want them to be more aware.

I wonder what it's like to be from a state that is spread across a few islands way out in the Pacific Ocean, only added to the United States in 1959. Not only that but to be the birthplace of America's first black president? Pretty cool, I bet.
