Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.
Some people make a career out of doing one thing, but I wanted to diversify my body of work.
This industry is very make-believe and you caught in a false sense of what reality is.
When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.
You go from movies where you are wearing nice clothes and you're trying to smell good to a movie where you are in water and you are wet all day, and you are dealing with that elements, it gets rough, but it was definitely something I wanted to try.
You start making movies and people start seeing when you go to places, and all of a sudden you are getting clothes for free and all of a sudden you are getting food for free.
To me the work is so much more interesting, the parts that don't require you just to take your shirt off.
There are a lot of people in this business that don't work consistently.
This film is what it is. It's a campy thriller horror movie where you go and have fun. With these types of films, you can't take it too seriously. They are what they are.
A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well.
I want to tell stories for everyone, primarily.
I think the best type of action movie combines a love story with the action.
I think that Mos Def is the best actor, but when you talk about rappers in films, I don't really think the quality of the acting is most important because most rappers are put in movies because of the personality and people want to see that.
I hate being cold and I hate being wet and around 80% percent of this film I was cold and another 60% I was cold and wet, so it wasn't the best shoot for me.
I enjoy what I do, but it's more challenging than people think.
