I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.

I've made up so many stores about my name, I can't remember.

Acting is real important to me. I love it, and it's something I care about.

I've worked with a lot of people on music and often times those things don't work out.

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

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