I'm not defining my band by other people's music, but by my own.

There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.

You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.

I think one of the first things to go as people's lives start to go down is their dreams. Dreams should be the last thing to go - dreams are the things you go down with. If you're left clinging to a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean, I'd put on it the word dreams.

It's never bothered me to work hard. I've probably worked on some of the longest schedules in movie history.

You're just as good, and if you work harder, you can be better and you can be more than you think you can.

I've had moments in my life where it was all out on the table. Everything I had. I'm okay with that, because I had a strong belief that what I was doing other people could believe in it, too, if I can get it just right.
