I was a black center in the middle of all the nature. I was nothing, but I could do anything.

I learned a lot of good things in my school. I've audited a lot of other schools, and I guess after a while I got a little tired of the acting school atmosphere.

I was supposed to go out with this girl, but the plans mixed up because I was working late. So I went to her apartment with a flower. She was asleep, but I really wanted to see her. I figured I'd be like Romeo, and climbed up to her balcony and gave her a rose. She was very shocked. After that, it was over.

I needed an outlet in high school and came across painting. I've actually been painting longer than I've been acting. A movie is a collaborative effort, and with painting you just have yourself.

Create your world around your work. Create your work around your life. Let other people help you shape it.

Sometimes it is painful to be oneself; at other times it seems impossible to escape oneself.

You don't really prepare for a kissing scene.
