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.

Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that's as much as I can remember.

On the first feature, everything's new. No matter what you're doing, it's a new experience, and you don't really have control over it, in a way, because you just don't know how things work.

Dreaming be damned, this is control. Raping your soul, devil's hole.

I can picture certain things in my mind, while writing the script, but then I can also tell that everyone else might be a little confused about what it's supposed to look like at the end of the day. But it all works out. I find a way.

I love Westerns. I really love John Wayne. Frank Capra, any of his movies I love.

It's never been about making money.
