I've always thought Prince Charming in Cinderella was the most boring role; I'd rather be the Wicked Witch.

I honestly have no interest in celebrity whatsoever. If anything, I always cringe at it because it takes away from what I am, which is an actor who wants to be better and do better things.

I don't want to do anything that I'm not passionate about.
