The expectation is this low, gravelly voice for John, but I went through his early recordings and there were songs in there where the voice was so different, I wasn't even sure if it was him singing, ... So it was interesting to me that we would see him develop the Man in Black sound. I thought it was really important that his voice change as his persona slowly solidified. The music was really the doorway into the character.

For as long as I've been making movies, I really don't know a lot of the technical side. I mean, I've actively and consciously tried to avoid learning that stuff. I just want to be open and receptive to what's happening in the moment, and I don't want to force anything.

The less someone knows about me, the better, because my intention is to play a variety of characters.

It's hard for me to put my feelings into words.

For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.

I do like to collaborate, and I like hearing other people, and I like how somebody's performance will affect my own.

Is it that your dream is unattainable or is it that you have the wrong dream?
