You want people to watch what you're doing.

There's a personal side to me of challenges as an actor that I like to take on myself.

You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.

I just - you know, some people just have some very full laughter - full of joy - and have no shame or fear of letting that out.

I'm not a proponent of people watching a movie, and then going out and doing something bad. People have been doing bad things, well before movies.

I think drug movies free the director to make intense films

It came time to go to college. My dad said, go wherever you want. Take whatever you want. He just really believed in getting out and being exposed to different things.
