So I started to learn Russian and I was one of those probably way too eager, annoying young actor kids who was trying to change all my lines to Russian, much to the dismay of the director and Nic Cage.

If I saw a man and I was attracted… I would follow through with it.

Louisiana is a place that you escape, not a place that you leave.

The purpose of life is to live your dreams, you should never smother your wishes.

I was very much in my own world, never the popular kid. But I had a great family, a great brother and mother.

I never really wore Gucci. I never did.

I never look at myself as a closet actor wanting to make music or a closet musician wanting to act — I’m very proud to do both and I don’t put one above the other, I’m very grateful and excited by both opportunities — it’s really a unique opportunity to do both.
