But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.

I am miserable when I'm in a movie I'm not proud of and a movie that I don't want to do.

To me, White Boy Shuffle is sort of like Catcher in the Rye, the story is so universal.

I learn so much more in an ensemble movie.

I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.

You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money.

At 27, it's great to get to a place where I'm not an actor for hire anymore.
