I played sports in high school and in college.

I want people to think about everyone in their life, and their responsibilities to their friends, their families and their country.

I've never been a big gore guy.

I think that, just like the art scene and the music scene is exploding in LA - I mean, let's face it: if you want to be an artist you cannot live in New York anymore because it is too expensive…

I think any time you can go after an audience that isn't built in, that's the job.

I hope that I would put whatever my political beliefs aside, and realize that my country's asked me to to something, and do it.
