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.

I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings.

I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through.

I do better on the first three takes; I won't be better at 20 takes.

I would say invisibility would be sort of a fun power to have just to see what it was like to move through the world and not be looked at.

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.

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