I Always Sort Of Talk About - To Myself At Least, Or To My Friends, About Wanting To Just Keep Life Very Simple. I've Found It Most Simple Here In New York. You Know, It's Basically I Have A, In A Way, A 9-to-5 Job, You Know? I Do Eight Shows A Week. I Live In New York City. I Get To Walk Everywhere, And You Know, Just Be One Of The People Of The City. And It's Actually Wonderful.

College Experience

I Think Testing Films Are A Great Tool. And I Think Showing Them To People That You Value Their Opinion Is Important, But Once You Give Over To What Reviewers Think, That's Tricky. You Don't Know What Their Agenda Is; It's So Subjective. You Have Got To Make Sure You Are Asking Someone's Opinion Who You Know.
