I don't want every fan; I'm interested in fans interested in quality work, authentic archetype depictions.

I feel comfortable working with people who are secure in themselves and confident in what they do.

I'd like to change the depictions of life, love, and adventure under what's known as the typical, overused backdrop of Hollywood.

Being able to engage my creativity in a way that makes a difference inspires me more than anything.

I like to be challenged and stay true to my archetype. That's something I don't admit of being like in real life and I don't have to be. I always try to understand what would lead an individual to being that way, to being oblivious to the fact that he's somewhat insensitive and scared of commitment, and that psychological journey, and what traumas may have occurred in this person's childhood to bring him to that point.

Wanting an honest opinion about my art from someone whose opinion I respect makes me feel vulnerable. It's a great space to be in.

I'm one of those people for whom success is one thing, but significance is another. If I can have both, I'm living the dream.
