To be able to pretend to be something that I'm frankly not is very liberating and exciting.

People are more open about seeking help these days. They recognise the fact that the alternative to having a shrink is that you bore your friends stupid.

Acting is largely about putting on masks, and music is about removing them.

Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive.

I feel like I'm working on an oil rig right now. I'm away from home a lot.

I run six-to-eight miles a day, plus weights and aerobics in the lunch hour. I also lie a lot, which keeps me thin.
