When I look at my body of work, I've played a lot of characters who are morally conflicted - 'I'm right, no I'm wrong, I don't know what to do!' I want to play more characters who don't care as much, and who aren't as measured. They are what they are, no apologies.

I've been DJing mostly, and most DJs end up producing. That's just me.

My definition of bad-ass is that I'm a force of nature and true spirit. I'm self-admitting that, and it sounds vain to say that, but I am.

Actors tend to not know how their performances are going to actually be used. Even though the script says one thing, in the edit, it can be something else.
