In my early teen years, I wanted to become a vet. That was my plan. I worked as a veterinarian's assistant for a couple of summers.

I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.

I love doing independent films, but it's very hard to make a living that way.

I like acting and being a musician. It's like comparing apples and oranges. But I really like my day job. I've always played music since I was 12, and I guess I always will.

If we never felt sorrow, we'd never recognize bliss.

As I grow older, I put all life's bulls**t aside. I think the process of the laying off of the bulls**t starts around 40. Before that, most men have their heads stuck in their ass. After 40, you see things differently. You've found yourself. You're accepting yourself and what you got from life.

I used to eat a lot of fish, but I've been shying away from it because of the mercury thing. I eat more beef and chicken now.
