Always Have One Artistic Thing That Is

I Loved The Book [the Adderall Diaries] I Optioned It, I Think Some Years Ago. But There's A Lot Of Different Threads In The Book. It Starts Off As One Thing, Where He's Trying To Cover This Murder Trial, And Then His Own Life Starts To Impinge On That, So It Becomes Something Else. I Found That Fascinating.

When I Was A Young Actor, I Just Didn’t Understand How To Function In This Business As An Artist. It Is A Business, It’s Called The Film Business For A Reason, There’s Money Involved ... But On The Flip Side, Now I Do Not Let The Business Side Of It Rule Either. It’s A Balance.

In Any Creative Endeavor, You Do Have To Sort Of Take Your Shots. Nobody Is Going To Beg You To Go Into The Creative Arts. So, If You Want To Pursue A Career In Something Like Acting Or Writing, The Motor And The Drive Have To Come From You. And That Does Take Courage Because, A, A Lot Of People Want To Do It, And B, It's Hard. So, You Have To Have The Guts To Put Yourself Out There And Go For It In Spite Of The World Saying, "you Know, It Would Be So Much Easier, If You Didn't Pursue This." So, It Does Take Guts.

Reviews About Film Acting Are Very... Tricky, Because Movies Are Such A Collaborative Thing.

I'm An Actor, I Do Movies, And I Need To Find Somebody Who Enjoys That Kind Of Stuff. It's Not Like, "oh, I Have My Work Time, And We Go On A Date, And It Better Be Darn Fun And Exciting!" I Think It Should All Coalesce A Bit More.
