There were a couple of times, leading up to shooting [Ordinary World], where I was like, "Oh, my god, what did I get myself into? Hopefully, I don't ruin this guy's precious script." And then, after a couple of days of shooting, I started getting in the groove of it and it was really fun. I love being a rookie at stuff. It makes it feel vital. I love doing things I've never done before, and I love making stuff.

Time passes by like lightning. Before you know it you're struck down.

That was the hard part of having kids: trying to be on their schedule, then fighting to get to sleep while they are sleeping.

If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life.

The main thing about the character [in the Ordinary World] is that he loves music, and he shares it with his daughter. He's having a mid-life moment, and it's a small moment, really. I think that the character actually really loves where he's at, in his life. He's just trying to have it make a little bit more sense while he figures out what he actually wants to do with it.

When all else fails...be a rockstar

I just open my mouth and out it comes.
