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

They were on the set of Bad Santa, but I tried to keep the headphones away from them. My kids have seen Sling Blade, Armageddon, Bandits and Friday Night Lights. They have not seen Monster's Ball and nor will they ever. Even when they are 60. I will leave it in my will.

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

Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.

If someone is talking to you and tells you that you ought to do something, and you can tell they mean it, those are the scary people. Those are the people you want to watch out for.

Now the idea in the movie world is to make things the same. And in the TV world, the idea is to do something different, so... that's why I'm here!

We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.
