Showing the addiction and unusual sexual practices are ways of just outlining a much bigger character trait.

When I went to film school about three years ago, the first two years you're required to make a series of short films. I started making films based on short poems.

I don't have many hobbies. If I think of hobbies, maybe ping pong. But I don't have a desire to get a ping pong medal.

In a movie, a book, or a play, a character doesn't live in a vacuum. She is subject to pressures from the world outside of her, just like we are in life. These pressures and circumstances shape character. Who your parents are determines your genetic make up: your skin color, your sex, your height, weight. Where you are raised does affect your worldview either positively or negatively, your accent. Your economic class affects where you go to school, what you eat, where you sleep.

I don't need a vacation in the traditional sense, like I would if I had a job I hated.

I've been acting for many years now, and I find there's nothing I enjoy more than making films with my friends and people I like, who also are the funniest people around.

I still work really hard, but I like to think I'm a little smarter about at least the type of movie I'm getting into.
