And if I had to spend 20 years in the band just to play that show, I think it would have been worthwhile.

I will never be a career actor, I don't think. I don't feel that I have the skill set to jump into it that way, although I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

I joined a band to hit things.

There's a thin line between interesting music and self-indulgence. We crossed it on the Passengers record.

The only thing I wouldn't like to do is to play roles as a musician. I'm not sure that I would be comfortable doing that, and I'm not sure I'd be very good at it. I think I would be better served, and would be a better partner, if I was in something outside of myself.

I've often thought that it would be great to do some acting because nobody would think that I would be able to do it and it scares the living hell out of me.

It doesn't matter what songs we sing. I'm a drummer. Chicks dig me.
