I had always planned to be an actor, and the music was just in my DNA, it's always been.

What does a painter do? You get a painting, you put some intent and passion and emotion into these things, and hope the people will receive it. Same as a playwright. It's art.

No matter how you get here or where you end up, human beings have this miraculous gift to make that place home.

I'm a pretty normal guy. I do one weird thing. I like to go in the women's room for number two. I've been caught several times and I have paid dearly.

Honestly, I love stealing things.

In my early days, I was about 145 pounds. I was really a starving artist; the poster child for starving artists.

The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job. I will do whatever it takes to survive…like I did when I was a homeless man.
