Great interview! i guess he reflects a lot of celebrity's fears when he talks about phone cameras.

Why was my post removed?

"Don't mess with a geek from the projects" is that somehow objectionable?

Perhaps if you were true Cube fans you would appreciate and understand the wit.


Again, I will reiterate, great interview.
