Art is the only thing that helps people stay alive, and it is the only thing that has allowed people to create joy in this insane, suppressive universe. And art is the only thing that they can't get rid of. They've tried, but ultimately they can't stamp it out.

Like everybody I have many different sides.

Understanding human nature. Perception. That's how I see acting - perception and communication.

Adults are just children sometimes. But evil, hurt children.

What I get in rock 'n' roll that I don't get in movies is that connection with people. With music it's instantaneous, and just to watch people light up, it's really amazing. I love that connection.

Nobody would ever think, "Oh, get into acting so you can live the straight and narrow path," but it gave me a sense of discipline and focus.

Sometimes I can be on a cloud and then two hours later feel really small.
