I'd always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.

As I was coming up on the stage, there was one source that could make or break you, the New York Times. Inevitably there would be one actor singled out for a better review, or worse, than somebody else. The effect of that was cancerous, divisive.

When it comes to music, it's my clothes, it's my guitar, it's my voice, it's my song.

Things could be worse. You remember that, and you go on with your life.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

Critics can be your most important friend. I don't read criticism of my stuff only because when it's bad, it's rough-and when it's good, it's not good enough.

The business that people do in LA on the social level is amazing. You go to a restaurant, bump into this guy or that guy. The next day you get a call, and they want you in their movie.
