I have a hard time saying "no" if it's right. I don't say "no" to say "no." I said "no" when I didn't have a pot to piss in. I still said "no" to big money jobs because they didn't make creative sense to me.

I know what I like and what I want, and I can sit and enjoy every 10 minutes that go by. And truly enjoy it.

The most experience I had in the criminology field is playing a thug as an actor. That was my first paid job. The police academy at the college was paying people to reenact the calls that potential cops would get. So I got to play thugs and people who were unruly.

Aren't we taught as kids that we're beautiful because we feel beautiful and not because someone else says so? You don't look like the model on the magazine cover but you can still be beautiful, so I can't say I really want to change anything. I'm happy with the flaws I have.

I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money.

I guess gritty is the word that you said. But it has a different tone. We're not flying around in different universes - it's a bit more earthy.
