I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that.

Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece.

They're not supposed to show prison films in prison. Especially ones that are about escaping.

When I was in pre-production for Trees Lounge, I was hearing the cinematographer talking with the production designer about colours and this and that and feeling like I was losing control.

All the roles I play, I don't see any of my roles in films that they're typically leading men.

I've never had a grand plan. I've only just tried to keep open to many different possibilities, have fun and work with people who are passionate about what they do.

I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
