There are lots of parts of filmmaking that I don't like. At the end of the day, especially on features, the film turns into a commodity. You have to play this entirely new game I'm very uncomfortable with.
I've always felt that I wanted to make a Marvel film... I just want to make sure I'm not making an episode.
I've loved vampires since I was a kid, or loved a lot of the vampire movies that I saw. Anything with sharp teeth, really. I remember you could get those fake vampire teeth, and I remember just keeping them in all the time.
I like to be a tiger roaming the jungle or an eagle soaring the skies.
I will be the Thai equivalent of Eddie the Eagle.
It really wasn't fun any more, everything was too business-oriented. I just remember the old days when the band was really tight together, playing Eagle poker and just having a really good time while we were doing it. Towards the end, it just got too cut-throat.
I'm the Eagle: I can fly.
I learnt how to hunt rattlesnakes with an eagle for 'Serena.'
