I'm a huge fan of James Dean, that got me started. Nowadays I smoke four packs in a day.

When it comes to social policies, I believe women have the right to make their own choices, and inequality is a really important issue.

I couldn't speak enough Spanish. I couldn't make myself understood on that club.

Living in continual chaos is exhausting, frightening. The catch is that it's also very addictive.
