I was working in Chicago, in theater and in commercials and anything that anybody would let me do. When I moved to L.A., I had made a choice to be a character actor, meaning that I wanted to become somebody else. That's what attracted me to becoming an actor in the first place.

I've been really lucky. I think that you really get what you recognize is in the universe.

I did all the musicals in my high school; I was in a pop group signed to Cash Money Records in college. Music has always been a really big part of my life.

I always feel like I'm so busy.

It has been wild, you know? I started out just putting a song that I made out on the Internet without being sure if anyone was going to like it, and it took me on tour around the world with Justin Bieber. It's been amazing!

The Official Secrets Act 1989 may need reforming for the digital era, but I would argue that at its heart there should be protection for whistleblowers.

Surprisingly, I think if you're known on the Internet, you're probably an introvert.

I can access footage much quicker, yes. But in terms of living with a film and knowing what's right, digital doesn't do that for you.
