I really like acting because you can create a character. You can make someone who has never existed before. That's neat.

Life is multi-layered and there's no way I could do my life justice in one pat answer.

I don't think I”m a very good actor. Everything is very tentative and at a certain point you click in and just feel the spirit move you. I can be possessed really well.

It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.

Animals can't really voice their opinion. We feel as though we can be on of the spokespeople on their behalf.

Music is my main goal, but I'm not going to rush a record out. There are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. I don't want to do it because it's the thing to do. I want to wait until the time is right.

I would get songs sung to me, like 'Old Man River, 'or kids would call me Mississippi and things like that. At the time, I wished I had a name that blended in more with my surroundings. Now, though, I've really learned to love it. From fifteen, I really liked it. It felt appropriate. Before that, I don't think it quite fitted me. I had to grow into it.
