No matter how successful the remake is, it seems to me it's forgotten quickly after and it's the original that still lives on.

Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.

There's nothing weirder than when your band finally gets big and you're playing sold-out arenas and you're selling millions of records, and you dread being a part of it all. It wasn't some master plan to go solo. I was just like, I would rather do my own thing, be happy, and have it be ten times less popular. That was really it. It just wasn't fun, the stress.

I'm not extremely political. I think everything should be layed out and you can make your own conclusions. As soon as I feel I'm being taught something or preached something, I just glaze over it and I don't want to hear it.

I like movies where you can come back and re-watch them and admire the cinematography 25 years later.

My advice: Don't quit. When I got to New York City, I lived so far below the poverty line, because I didn't give in and get a job at 7-Eleven. I think you can thrive in misery.

I love all kinds of movies. I'd especially like to make some, you know, violent crime drama.
