If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said; it was phenomenally exciting, musically.

I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.

I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
