I watch so many movies and I find a lot of them very predictable, and also, a little bit playing it safe.

I don't want people to hate me. I basically do whatever I want. But one of the aspects of what I want is, I want people to like me!

My biggest problem in my life is I'm cheap and I didn't hire a publicist. In every awkward interview, normally actors get these things scripted.
