I don't ever expect to be permanently happy. I don't think that's part of the human condition.

I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.

I took that time off - I knew it was messing me up, not being connected to a spiritual plane.

I used to cut guitars out of a piece of cardboard to copy the Strat look. I used a backwards tennis racket for a while and graduated to the cardboard cutout.

If the timing's right and the gods are with you, something special happens.

Every actor wants to break out of the box that they put you in and that's where I'm heading, out of the box as fast as I can.

It would be pretty shabby to appear flippant around a documentary that's about how much I love my fans.
