My first movie was a movie that had a bunch of people dying in it - the typical popcorn movie. That's where I got my start.

I don't have phobias. I'm pretty laid back. Nothing really bothers me. I can handle things pretty well.

Knowing what I'll write about and what I won't has never really been a problem. I won't write about things that bore me.

I would love to fight whoever is the best. I want to test myself on how much I can achieve.
