If I wasnโt making music I would probably be in the woods with a big deerโฆ.Talking to myself.
Jared LetoI think I remember from the offset I said, 'I've visited this territory. This isn't for me.' And then I read the script and I said, 'You know, this is completely something different. This is a whole new life.'
Jared LetoI don't really care what people say. If I'm wearing, like, a tie-dye onesie and I'm in the middle of the desert, I'm not doing it for fashion points; I'm doing it because it's fun or it makes me feel good.
Jared LetoWell, the experience for me making a film is the most profound one. I really donโt have any business watching the movie so much. Maybe I could watch it for entertainment purposes, but you have so little input and control of the final product once youโre done that I feel like I just would rather leave it alone. It kind of leaves me in a place where every film I do, Iโm kind of having to reinvent and figure out how to start again fresh, and hopefully not repeat myself.
Jared LetoI used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house.
Jared LetoThere are always going to be people that are judgmental that are going to say, 'Well, he was an actor first, so he doesn't have the right to be a musician,' or, 'I know him as this, so therefore I will never accept him as that.' I can't change those people. I can only be myself. And I can only keep making art. I can only do the best that I can. I am not going to spend my life trying to silence the critics. I'm going to do what I'm passionate about and follow my dreams.
