It's pretty much rock-'n'-roll. I sit down and start feeling stuff and writing.

I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.

I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.

So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.

I am a Justin Timberlake fan.
