Quotes
"If I look back at the scripts I received after Dynamiitti-Napoleon (2004), I think the town thought I had multiple personalities that were all a variation of that character. They probably just thought of me as someone their kids liked, but was more like the goofy kid that asked to mow their lawn, not a professional actor".
