The dynamics are pretty much the same among me and my friends as they,were when I was 18 years old.
On a human level, people want to see someone succeed who wants to,change.
I usually choose movies that I would want to see. I appreciate drama and,if the right script came across my desk, drama you will see.
I made movies all the time when I was a kid.
I definitely like taking the dark horse approach and picking people you,should not be getting behind, and you figure out a way to get behind,them.
Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.
The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To,give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.
If you do a character that resonates enough, people are always going to,see you as that character. It will just be up to me to make choices,where I can flex other muscles.
There is no future for me as a closing pitcher.
So I just came out here to Los Angeles with a bunch of buddies I had,gone to film school with. You know, for better or worse, we just tried,to slug it out here.
Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.
