Personal Quote:

(2009) I don't think I'm a guy who stays in character all the time, but there are definitely times when I feel I need to be a little more focused, so I'm not fucking around all the time off-camera. Other times, I feel like fucking around off-camera helps me stay looser and more up for what the thing is. So it's case-by-case. But I don't think I've ever walked around in character off-camera. No. See more »
