You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.

You aren't really writing about what you did; you're writing about how you feel.

There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.

When you're young and you play music, you have a peer group, you come out of a scene. There's a lot of people you know, and then you have some success, and it all goes away.

If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.

If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.
