One of the first signs of being depressed is that you lose interest in things. That's why I think it is important to stay passionate.

I wanted to make an image for myself as an outlaw type. A kind of rock 'n' roll sensibility.

Without mentioning any names, I looked at pretty much every story that may come to your mind about a politician on the rise who was stopped short or dragged down by personal flaws and then became just a media storm. I see this as a thing that continues to happen in America and I wanted to say something about that.

I do like characters that have flaws, some sort of pathos to them that they are trying to sort out.

Sometimes I do love to rehearse, but I always switch it up depending on whom I'm working with.

I do enjoy animated movies.

And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy.
