It's funny that people think because you don't have a movie or record out, you disappear into a frozen chamber someplace. They think you're dead when you're not in the public eye.

When my first daughter was born, I had to figure out a new way of [making music] so that I wouldn't wake her up.

I've never invested myself properly in trying to write stories. When I write lyrics, mostly I write each sentence separately on an index card and then I lay them out and I just mix them up.

I have never stopped playing music.

It's not uncommon to hear people say that the re-entry into their lives is very hard. A lot of actors say that the hardest thing about working is not working, because you go from one of the most structured environments in the world to a place of no structure. Maybe that's why you see someone go from movie to movie to movie.

I often wonder, Is it worth waiting only for things you think are going to be truly great, or is that a pretentious attitude to take?

I just find that the harder you work and the more effort you put into yourself, the better you'll be.
