I played soccer, and I played in a band, and sometimes I was able to do a movie. And my school would cooperate. It was a very easy way to roll into what later became my profession. It's more innocent. When you're a child actor in the U.S., it's a different thing I think.

Stepping on set is always overwhelming.

The Dutch film industry is a pretty small community, so within Holland, I think most actors know each other and have worked with each other. The actors that are working internationally - that's a small number.

I respect motorcycles so much. They've come such a long way. It's amazing!

Although I miss my family and friends when I'm away from Amsterdam, I've never had that feeling of missing a city like I have with New Orleans. Especially for the music.

I went on to host a kids' program from when I was around 10 until 15. In some ways I'm a child actor.

The great actors, like Cary Grant, and the gentlemanliness that they portray in the movies is something that I try to keep in mind.
