Keep your head down, work hard, and don't ever believe your own hype, because... you just keep working.

Not write, maybe develop. Direct, sure. As an actor, you work on so many films, you sort of start to see who directs well and who doesn't.

I grew up on movie sets, getting to see storytelling happen up close.

I lived with my mom in Hawaii until I pissed her off. And then I came to live with my dad and pissed him off. He made me hustle, and claw, and fight. That's all stuff you want. You want that drive.
