So I'm truly an actor who sings, and not a singer who acts.

I'm lyrically driven, I'm not musically driven.

I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I'm lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that's if I'm lucky, I don't always get to have that privilege but I try always.

I'm an obsessive person. I like intensity.

People who go into the arts are often hurt people. Many are manic-depressive. Some have tried suicide and some have succeeded. It's just part of the game. We are people who are oversensitive. That's why we're in this business, because of our need to communicate.

I try to say something about the human condition whenever I can when I'm lucky.

This is unbearable how I talk.
