My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.

My parents are artists, so I grew up with my mom having bonfires, seven guitars, and talented musicians and artists around like Jack Hirschman.

My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.

I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that

Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.

We hung out a lot together. We went and saw films together. It was really actually quite easy. I think we were all very subconsciously connected in knowing that we needed to make it important, and therefore it just became important and it worked. Everybody had a lot of respect for each other. I think respect is the most important thing you can have.

The poetry when I was a kid felt like something that I could control, and whether it failed or not, whether it was good or not, was totally on me and I could accept that. It was entirely mine.
