I always surprise myself with my voice. A lot of people don't get it, and they're like, 'You can't sing. Stop. What are you doing?' And it's funny to hear a lot people say I sing in falsetto because it's not falsetto - that's my voice.
When I was a kid, I played basketball religiously. I begged my mom to get me voice lessons because I wanted to learn to sing the right way, but at the same time, I was playing Junior Olympic basketball, and I was playing point guard for my school.

Drax isn't your average stereotypical soldier/warrior/musclehead. He actually has some depth.

There's this belief that some things can be taken seriously in an intellectual way, while some things are only entertainment or only a commodity.

My job, as an actor, is to entertain people. My contribution to society is to be a respite from everyday life. People go home and watch television or they go to the movies, and they get to escape their reality.

And if somebody wants to get more involved in a socially active way, that's when you've done the thing that I've always wanted to be a part of.
