I feel I should be doing stupid stuff, but I'm not going to.

I was the bad kid in school. I was usually in trouble.

In Hollywood today, it's cool for guys to wear nail polish and earrings in their lips and tongues. I don't get it.

But with writing, all you need is a pad of paper.

I knew whatever I did, it was going to be big.

I just feel like if I do good work, then people should respect me for the work I do.
