And I discovered after a couple years that I really didn't miss making movies.

I always find it flattering when somebody recognizes me.

I don't think I've ever had a plan or direction for myself. I've actually made decisions based more on what I didn't want to do than what I wanted to do.

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

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.

Well, whether it's on film or on TV, you don't want to throw too many curves at your audio and video guys.

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