Playing normal-looking characters really intimidatesme. I got into acting to play anyone but me.

I can't sit through plays and musical theatre. I just want to run up onstage and mess up their hair and turn over the furniture.

My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.

The independent film business is pretty much gone. Now you can do it in a format where you actually get to develop a character over a period of time.

People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.

Independent films now, they want to give you $2 million to make it, 21 days to shoot it and they want 10 movie stars in it.

I figured I would have to tell someone to kiss my ass before it was all over, and I have -- twice.
