To me I'm just a regular person going to the mall with friends and now I'm in Forever 21 and I see this random group of girls staring at me and taking pictures. But now I usually have my dad who is a really tall and intimidating person with me so he's kind of my bodyguard.

My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits which I saw a as kind of frivolous.

My Dad hated his job. He sold overcoats but he wanted to make movies. He had a failed career working with the Ritz Brothers - they were like the Marx Brothers only a tier below. I always had a picture in my mind of him in a straw hat.

My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.

In France we don't yet have the craft that American TV does or big studios like Paramount. It was so cool going through those famous gates when you have your own little pass and picture on it. Woo hoo I'm going to work!

I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles and I thought that was pretty cool so I was quite up front about it.

I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask 'Are you Soulja Boy?' If people want pictures or autographs that's cool but I don't like the dumb questions.

Style is innate to who I am. My father gave me a picture the other day. I must have been about seven and I had on wing-tip shoes and some cool pants. I thought 'Wow!'

If people are taking pictures of me at Starbucks it's not the end of the world. It's cool it's fun it's exciting.

I'm interested in all kinds of pictures however they are made with cameras with paint brushes with computers with anything.
