When I came out to Hollywood, I discovered the perfect place for my creative madness - Cannon Pictures.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence.
I got too caught up in Hollywood, being so into myself and my image.
It wasn't until I realised that I could actually take nice photographs that I started to become passionate about it. I then got a few jobs working for magazines in London, and I would get terribly excited and intense about doing a job and taking photographs and looking through the lens to capture something amazing.
I was obsessed from the moment I took my first photograph. I wanted to make photography my career.
Before I became an actor, I was a visual artist, and I've always hankered for the storytelling behind the camera.
I developed a sense of self before moving to crazy Hollywood, which was really important.
Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.
When I came out to Hollywood, I was a crazy young kid who didn't have a lot of direction.
All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.
Unfortunately my career began in Hollywood, doing a negative pickup for Universal pictures.
