You try to pick good stories, and that's pretty much all the control you have as an actor.

When I was 16, I was working on 'Arrested Development.' My memories of being 16 were just trying to keep up with school while doing the show and trying to be around all those people on the show, as much as I could.

Normally what I do is I'll record something that I really like which will be part of a song or an idea. I kind of just record things and then I'm done with them. It takes discipline to actually carve out a song.

Since I was 15 I've felt kinda like... an old man.

The thing is, I really can't relate to anyone my own age. Not in a superior way - an inferior way, if anything. Socially, I have no idea what my friends are talking about. I don't listen to any new music. I feel very secluded.

I don't think anyone cares whether you're working or not. I have the luxury now of not having to support anyone and not really needing a whole lot of money.
