Surprising people is the key to career longevity for someone like me.

I hear actors complain about being stereotyped, and a lot of the time, you have yourself to blame. Just don't take the part if you feel like it's a stereotypical part for you. You have control over your life. We don't have the old studio system, where you have to do what they tell you.

There's so much joy in doing comedy work, and that's one of the reasons I like to do it - because it's just a hilarious day at work.

I was never a very dependable employee for anything. Perfect for the actor's life!

[Country Music] is the final destination for many punk rockers [...] Rockabilly is the mid-point and then [they] end up at Country [...] There's purity to that music and I think that appeals to a lot of punk rock people - the precision, the purity, and the directness of Country Music.

I'm bored by repeating myself, and I would imagine that an audience would be bored by me repeating myself.

My family are all storytellers, and I think I inherited a lot more of that gene than other people in my family. I guess I was fun to have around.
