What was working with Macaulay Culkin like in Party Monster?
He bought me my first pack of cigarettes, which I had to smoke as the character.
And strangely, I have since met the true-life person that he was portraying in PARTY MONSTER - a guy named Michael Alig - he just got out of prison for the murder in that film.
What is your favorite untrue rumor you have heard spread about you?
Hmmm.
Well, there's always - I never can really pick one. But the one that never goes away, and it's never been my favorite, is that I had a rib removed.
The other one is even more strange, just the idea that people don't - it's not so much a rumor, the idea that people will never really know or understand me from afar.
It's a one-dimensional thing. Sometimes people treat me like I'm a cartoon character, or I'm something that isn't a real person, and they don't realize that I'm actually a human being.
Maybe that's not one of the worst ones, but someone has to have some sort of emotions to be an artist in the first place.
Or at least pretend that I do, when it comes to it.
When life gets to be too much, what or where is your happy place?
I'd say with Lily White, my cat. When I'm sad, or if I just need alone time, she'll come up to me, and she knows, and she'll usually lie on my head. Or she'll come up and meow, like she did just now - like she knows it's dinner time.
But I like to distract myself by watching movies. It takes my mind out of my own world, and puts it somewhere else. And it's helpful for me.
