I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.

You can't live on planet rock star 24/7; you have to be down and dirty and have some fun.

To do something that you feel in your heart that's great, you need to make a lot of mistakes. Anything that's successful is a series of mistakes.

I started off small and then this was just the great opportunity.

I think that's the big difference between this one [Ordinary World] and a lot of the other rock 'n' roll movies. They're playing to tape, but Fred Armisen and I were actually in a rock 'n' roll bad together. I also really related to the character, especially when it came to the parenting part. I'm a pretty klutzy parent.

People are so damned afraid that one day they might wake up and discover that they've grown old.

You don't mow another man's lawn!
