There's so many modern films where the fans take one side or the other. I'm hoping this isn't going to be like that; I'm hoping it isn't that kind of film at all. What I would love for the audience to take from it is to understand why she was so stuck in the middle and confused.

I have no problem with bands using participant financing schemes like Kickstarter and such.

I've never been very comfortable as an actor looking out into the audience; I always like to keep my focus on the other person.
