I like to find characters. Here's the bottom line: I can't play someone if I can't figure out what he cares about. Everybody cares about something, even a rough character. It defines where we step in life. As soon as you find out what somebody cares about, then it all gets real.

There was a summer during which the whole South Shore of Oahu, you could see the bleached coral almost across all of the surfing spots.
