Sometimes I have songs born out of stories.

I've been largely an improvisational actor for most of my career.

I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip.

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

Every character I play is me, always has been.

[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.

Marketing is the devil.
