I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong and too pleasing.
In times of rapid change experience could be your worst enemy.
I remember things that happened sixty years ago but if you ask me where I left my car keys five minutes ago that's sometimes a problem.
For an actor you're rejected eight or ten times a day. All you've got to sell is yourself. You're not selling products they're not turning down a car they're turning you down. Most people can't handle that. Most people are essentially not set up that way.
We don't have any CGI with any of the car stuff. I think it's a real experience when you see this car going through really fast really wild and you see me driving a lot of the times and also a big chase in downtown Atlanta. It's just incredible.
I'm a car singer in fact sometimes I pretend to take my dog out for a walk and I'll just drive him around and start singin'.
Everything officers go through in any chase anywhere in the country but amped up 100 times! I'm right in the thick of things in a car going like 80 miles an hour and doing 360s in the middle of the road. It was a wild ride.
When I'm in the car sometimes it's like 'Yeah man just put on the pop music.' You know what I mean? I don't want to listen to Tom Waits.
Like all soul singers I grew up singing in church but sometimes I would leave early and sit in the car listening to gospel band The Blind Boys of Alabama. Hearing their lead singer Clarence made me connect the idea of church and show business and see how I could make a career singing music that stirred the soul.
I've been in a car three or four times when it filled with water and it's not a comfortable feeling.
