You are the architect of your own loneliness.

Dancing and music were my first love. I was happiest at being a chorus boy.

You are the architect of your own loneliness.

I feel like a lot of my past career was going to film school, making a lot of different kinds of movies. I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.

I will never lose anything that an audience will miss.I turned things that were scripted as effects into in-camera stuff, which is sexier.

I actually had less time and the exact same budget on Hairspray, which was few years ago and this is a much bigger movie [then Rock of Ages]. That's the way studios do it now.

There was a lot of stuff [in Rock of Ages] that had effects in it and I thought it was too smooth. I thought it would be sexier if it were in-camera cuts. So I did that.
