If you get a chance to be in a film, that's great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley's album, Building the Perfect Beast.

I grew up in Detroit. So my mother always loved big band music.

Detroit... where 'mother' is half a word.

I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody.

People don't care how you feel. You need to paint pictures, you need to tell stories. That's what people want. They want to be entertained. Then all of the other stuff kind of filters across as part of the whole thing.

I'm just a bleeping maniac in straight clothing. There's no reason to dress my monster up.

I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.
