I never really trained to be a musician, but I've been playing guitar since I was around, like, 13 years old. For me, the guitar has always been the instrument that I've played. I play a little piano. I taught myself everything by ear. I don't read music at all, which has not really been a hindrance.

I grew up in a very small, rural country town, and we didn't really have 'the arts.'

I would love to play Lee in 'True West' and Bobby in 'Company.

We go see theater, we take in art because it makes us feel.

When you think about Broadway, you think broad and big, but the fact is there are so many plays that are very intimate, but fill a 1,500-seat house. Plays like 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' have deep moments of silence and intimacy to them.

Drag shows are one of my favorite things in the world. As a straight man I love going to gay bars. People at gay bars just love to dance.

The thing is that I'm an actor first, and in 'Once,' I was able to be a musician and a singer as well as an actor.
