My mom is very proud of introducing music to all her kids. But I played in some bad rock bands my junior and senior years of high school.

As a drummer, you can't fake the instrument. A trumpet, you could be blowing air; a person who plays the trumpet could still say, "Oh, those aren't the right hand motions." On drums, you have to actually hit them. You can't fake it.

At the end of the day, it's hard to keep relationships with people. I've got my family, my best friends and if a girl's gonna be a part of that then it's got to be good. If not, I'm out.

I think girls are surprised when you actually really listen and then you call it back at the end of the night.

I don't trust a girl that doesn't eat. I find that a little sketchy.

I think I might do an animated film next. I'm serious.

So I think that in the beginning of your career you're just looking to work. Luckily for me, my first movie was 'Rabbit Hole' and I got to work with incredible people, a Pulitzer prize winning writer, John Cameron Mitchell, and all the actors involved. So it's tough, man, because you want to have credibility.
