I've led a very eclectic life.
I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.
I don't think anybody chooses to be an underdog.
I generally have lyrics first, but you can't help that when you're writing lyrics you start to get a melody in your head. So they come kind of simultaneously.
You have to really know what you're saying.
Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends, and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny, and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.
