I don't really worry so much about image. I try to just live my own life, my personal life, to my own sense of morality. In terms of the kinds of characters that I play, well, they could be anything.

I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.

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

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

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.

I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again - I just have to find a story I want to tell.
