I write songs on guitar and that's about how good of a guitar player I am. I can write songs on it.

The great movies that I want to do now are being made for $2.5-million budgets.

I’m not much of a drinker, so I’m going to eat seven pounds of pork.

Nowadays the movies that people are going to see in the theaters are the big-event movies, like Spider-Man or something, or they're 25-year-old models who are vampires, or they're very broad comedies, or they're standard action movies. So if you're going to work for a studio and do a movie for the budget that the movie needs, those are the kinds of movies you'll be in.

[The lyrics and melody] usually come a little simultaneously, but I would say the lyrics are first; usually I have the idea for a story in my head, or few lines.

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.

We don't shoot in L.A. much anymore. You know, TV and movies, most everything's shot other places.
