I like that show 'Ray Donovan' - I'm obsessed with that. He's in Hollywood, he's some kind of a fixer, but he's also kind of a thug. And 'Scandal,' the D.C. one with Kerry Washington.

You have to treat Hollywood like it's your boyfriend - he's there all the time.

I think of myself as unconventional, I guess. I maybe always had a problem with authority, like a stubbornness about what's expected - despite wanting to get some recognition through performing - but also not always wanting to do the expected thing.

It takes more to make a scandal in Hollywood than Jared Paul Stern . Hollywood has looser ethical guidelines. People get gratuitous [movie] producer contracts just to keep relationships going and they don't pretend there are no conflicts of interest. Nobody makes any bones that it's a mad scramble for sex, power and money.

I grew up listening to John Coltrane and jazz, so they were subtle influences. I sometimes think about doing some kind of weird jazz record, but I don't know... It's on my list of things to do. I don't want to have to then go promote it.

I'm kind of obsessed with food. I like to eat.
