The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people, but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents, I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

I'm an actor for hire, and I go do a job.

I like to stay busy, I like to stay focused, and I like to stay creative. Without being creative I'd be dead.

I'm blessed to have cool roles in these big movies.

When I was growing up, I wasn't taught how to feel or communicate feelings.

People love to yammer on about things that aren't real.

Why I'm so stimulated by [producing] is it becomes more proactive. Instead of waiting around for a script to come in, or some movie trying to go. You're waiting around always for that opportunity, which is great, but I like to be a little bit more proactive. I'm a very action-oriented guy - I'm a doer. The company really became this spearhead for that sort of attitude, and so that, to me, was the most exciting part of it.
