“I've lived so much life as a young man. New Orleans, we got terms, and one's like, 'He jumped off the porch early.' That's kind of what happened to me. I had to grow up really quick.”

“I auditioned for 'Pitch Perfect,' and I had to sing. It was terrible.”

“As crazy as it may sound, it's like my tranquil place, where I sit, and I have my candy for a minute, and I just space out, and it's just me and my candy.”

“It's funny 'cos I think a lot about kids who grow up with their parents being really important members of their fields, and they just go the opposite way.”

“I didn't grow up listening to The Smiths, but now I am a fan. I love his music and listened to so much of it for the film. It's not a regular biopic; they picked a part of his life that people don't really know about. You learn what informs his lyrics.”

“I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.”
