My brother is the lifelong musician, he made the choice to do that when we were very, very young kids. I remember him playing in bands and listening to the music he was writing in the house - he's nine years older than me.

I felt as if I was the brunt of some massive joke at my expense: Can you believe this loser can be connected to Marlon Brando and Katharine Hepburn? But through the years I have learned to tolerate and sometimes embrace the idea. People have asked me if I consider it an honour. Well, all it indicates is that I've been in a lot of movies with a lot of people. And besides that there are plenty of other actors that would work.

I think there is a puritanical wind that is blowing. I have never seen such a lack of separation between church and state in America, I don’t believe in God, but if I did I would say that sex is a Godgiven right. Otherwise it’s the end of our species.

I feel like my responsibility as an actor is to make characters as compelling and believable as possible.

Doing funny scary is something that is rarely good and rarely works, and it's also something that's incredibly hard to market.

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

Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him.
