Something I like to do a lot is just sit by water when thereโs a current and just stare into the water. I donโt fish, I donโt hunt, I donโt scuba, I donโt spear, donโt boat, donโt play basketball or football โ I excel at staring into space. Iโm really good at that.

Iggy PopI wanted to learn a little bit about acting, not because I thought I'd find a star vehicle and set the world on fire, but I thought the discipline of it would be good for me. I met a good coach, and I joined her class - with a lot of hungry young actors who really didn't acre if I was a rock 'n' roll singer or not. I started to learn to get a focus, without having to jump up and down every few seconds.
