Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

On the last couple of movies I made - big-budget Hollywood movies - I really missed being able to create my own material.

Well, I took a sabbatical. I walked away from shooting movies because I couldn't handle the travel. I'm a single parent. I had young kids, and I found that keeping in touch with them from hotel rooms and airports wasn't working for me. So I stopped.

I always find it flattering when somebody recognizes me.

About a year ago, out of the blue, I just wrote a bunch of songs.

A few years ago, I decided I wanted to be home with my family.

I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.
