It was really good for me at that point in my life,” he explained. “I felt like it broke me out of some old habits. It made me think on a bigger scale. It made me use different parts of my brain. You have to have a lot of energy.”

They want people who are a little more malleable, who are at the beginning of their career, who are perhaps going to use this as a springboard and who are more controllable by the studio.
