I like vampires.
All topics, issues, and subjects in The Room (2003) add to the,depth of the characters in the movie, and they are equally important.
I want to be always actor.
When I was little kid, I used to want to be a rock star.
As a filmmaker and an actor, my job is to react towards people, but I,want a reaction from them.
I inspire myself.

You cannot have the drama without comedy.
We have many Lisas, Marks, Dennys, Johnnys, and other characters from,The Room (2003) in America and in the entire world.
I studied movies for many years, but I am professionally an actor,because I, my background is actually a stage actor and acting.
Well, you have to think positively, number one. And do what works for,you, number two. Stretching, you can do all kinds of different stuff.
When I was a little kid, I wanted to be, like, you know, a movie star, you know? Or, I always have interest in movie, you know? Because I like the visual aspect of the movies, et cetera. .
