I View Filmmaking As A Director's Medium.

I Needed An Outlet In High School And Came Across Painting. I've Actually Been Painting Longer Than I've Been Acting. A Movie Is A Collaborative Effort, And With Painting You Just Have Yourself.

Villains Can Often Be One Note And I Would Say In That Case, It’s Not Fun To Play The Villain. It’s Fun To Play The Villain If He A) Has Dimension And B) The Villain Gets To Do All The Things In The Movie That In Life He Would Get Punished For. In The Movie, You’re Applauded For Them If You Do Them With Panache. And So That’s Why It’s More Fun To Play The Villain.

Anyone Has Outside Influences. They Are The Results Of The Cosmic Roll Of The Dice: This Person Is Born Aragon The Ranger, This Person Is Born A Prisoner In North Korea, This Person Is Born Carlos The Dwarf. Some Of These Things Are Out Of Our Control, But That Doesn't Mean That They Can't Be Changed. A Character, Just Like A Person In Real Life, Is A Summation Of Her Actions And Feelings. Our Actions And Emotions Are Not Performed Against Nothing, They Do Not Arise From Dust, We Are In Constant Friction, And/or Flow With Our Surroundings.

I Am Actually Turned Off When I Look At An Account And Don’t See Any Selfies, Because I Want To Know Whom I’m Dealing With. In Our Age Of Social Networking, The Selfie Is The New Way To Look Someone Right In The Eye And Say, 'hello, This Is Me.'

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.
