I was watching an interview with Martin Scorcese concerning Raging Bull, which is one of my favorite films, and he was talking about how he'd worked with a lot of guys who weren't quote-unquote "actors," like Joe Pesce and Frank Vincent. Scorcese was very smart in the way that he cast, because you don't know where you're going to find the right person who can carry a role and summon that emotion you're looking for.

I just live my life and try to be present.

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.

It's like a dream to come to Spain and stay for a couple of years and get somebody to teach me Spanish music.

I started out making furniture because I couldn't find certain things, and then I really got into it.

My life is perfect because I accept it as it is.

When I was a kid and I bought a record, I ripped that thing open, I wanted to know who was playing what, what studio it was cut at, who was the string arranger, who was the engineer.
