As an actor, if you want to explore something new inside you, you need to do something different that you don't do in your regular life. You need to think in a different way.

My idea of an actor is to be different persons with different roles. Every time a script interests me, I look for interesting characters because I intend to completely transport myself into it.

People have a right to get stoned. They have a right to think and explore their own minds. This is as intimate a part of their being as their sexuality.

When there's more lows than highs and I'm not just talking financially, it may be time to see what else is out there for you.
