With a lot of actors, you've got to chip through the surface to see who the real person is.

I think of being an actor as kind of a young man's gig. It's emasculating, in a way, people messing with you and putting make-up on you and telling you when to wake up and when to go to sleep, holding your hand to cross the street. I can do it up to a certain point, and then I start to feel like a puppet.

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

It does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. I don't know what it's like any more to be anonymous.

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

I don't want to stop acting, but acting in some ways is a young man's game.

If you look at films about becoming a man, coming-of-age movies are made with 12-, 16-, 40-, 50-year-olds... For a guy to feel like hes a 100 percent grown-up is almost like giving up. Like admitting that youre on your way into the grave.
