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

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

All the classic bands that have been around forever, they came up gradually.

I didn't grow up in a creative environment. It was very boring town, boring everything. You go to school and you basically hate all the other kids because you don't understand them or what it's all about. At the same time I'm happy for that because I became very withdrawn and when you become withdrawn you develop your own bizarre-o personality.

You just have to do the thing that you feel is true to your vision, and then the audience will make the decision. But as soon as you feel like you're creating a product to just cater to what you think they want, it never works. It always feels phony. And the audience can tell immediately.

It's lifestyle music. It's not like some secretary who likes some pop song, but can't name who the band is; whereas a heavy metal fan is into every aspect of it. We'll see if rap holds up to that. Run-DMC seemed to be the Led Zeppelin of rap.

Josh Brolin is an actor that I really, really like; he's fantastic. I worked with him once; he's a really great actor.
