I think it's more interesting to see people who don't feel appropriately. I relate to that, because sometimes I don't feel anything at all for things I'm supposed to, and other times I feel too much. It's not always like it is in the movies.

I was never that boy who loved gangster films, but when I was growing up, I was obsessed with the detective Dick Tracy. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and he really inspired me.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I remember watching 'Boy n the Hood,' and there is a scene where Cuba Guiding, Jr. gets pressed against a car by a police officer, and he starts crying because it's so humiliating. I remember thinking at that moment that I could totally identify with him, and I'm a little white kid from Canada.

When my mother and I walked to the grocery store, men would circle the block in cars. It was very, very scary, especially as a young boy. Very predatory - a hunt.
