I don't think anybody chooses to be an underdog.

I think Americana music is music that is generally more singer/songwriter oriented. It has more to do with the songwriting. The music, it's more like stories set to music.

Directing takes a good chunk of your life out. It's a very hard thing. As an actor, you go in for a couple of months and do your job, and then you move onto another one. As a director, it's with you for quite some time and you're responsible for the entire thing, whether the results are good or bad, or whether people throw darts at you or put you on a pedestal.

I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.

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

Sometimes we don't want the bad guy to get caught because otherwise the story is over. You want to at least see it through to the end.

Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.
