I was very fortunate in having David Fincher, the director come to me. Now I've seen the finished product, I feel that every bit of the nine months we spent on the film was worth it.

Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.

I don't regret any of the musical decisions I have made.

My parents were not affluent people and were not - didn't come from the extremities of education. My mother had a high school diploma. I often think I so wish she'd come out of the hills in Appalachia and been able to go on to college. I think she would have made a wonderful teacher.

Another lesson about a naive fool who came to Babylon, and found out that the pie don't taste so sweet.

[My grandfather -a miner] had black lung, and he didn't talk about it much. It's almost like a combat veteran. But he witnessed some horrific things.

I've always been just kind of consumed by my own thoughts.
