People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.

Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasn't one more thing you could've done. Can you live in that moment as best you can, with clear eyes, and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman - you're perfect!

I think everybody's contemplating TV now, because mid-level and high-budget independent films are not being made now.

People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.

The audience, that's who I care about.

I can't sit through plays and musical theatre. I just want to run up onstage and mess up their hair and turn over the furniture.

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