For the last 20 years of my life, I've had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects, so I'm attracted to good story, writing and character and good people. That's what I'm always searching for and I don't think that's ever going to change.

I went to a performance of 'The Crucible' at the Guthrie when I was a sophomore in high school, and I knew right away that that's what I wanted to do

It seems like every year Hollywood makes an attempt to retell the Manson story, and I just couldn't be less interested in it. It's not really our crowning achievement as a civilisation. I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, but it just bores me.

Starting in the mid-'80s, I played in a band called Meat Joy, and we made our own record, toured.

I don't mean to be highfalutin about it, but I try to limit my visibility.

I met Robert Rodriguez working on a movie called 'Roadracers.'

Certainly I've had the experience of thinking a person was one thing, and finding out they were another.
