When I am working, I am working. When I am promoting, I am promoting. The rest of the time, I try to stay under the radar a bit.

I had a very rough and tumultuous childhood.

I met my wife by breaking two of my rules: never date a girl seriously that you meet at a nightclub and never date a fan.

You can't just live in phenomenon and not research it.

I would like, in the long term, to be recognized as a writer-director-actor.

I always keep my options open. I always say, "Make me an offer and send me the script, and if it's something that I can connect to or relate to..." The character has to intrigue me, and the project overall has to intrigue me. And if it all lines up properly, then we can get into the business side of it. But it's always about the creative first.

The people that become the biggest jokes are people who do not change. They stay the way they were in the past. Look at Michael Jackson, he never evolved.
