I just try not to subscribe to the ways of celebrity. I’m not a celebrity, I’m a working actor. A lot of the events – the parties and the premieres that people go to to get noticed – I’m just not into. I’ll hang out with my friends, go see punk shows, read at home. At the same time, I have a production company, which is a lot of work.
