For me, music is sort of my passion, more so than being an actor. I just never tried to make a career as a musician. It was just something that I did on my own time, just for me. I had written a lot of songs, but I don't really record a lot of music because, for me, it's the same way as a poet: I write to get things out. It's sort of cathartic.

Three-quarters of my family is Irish. Of course, the "Kazee" is not.

All I ever wanted to do was be on Broadway. I mean, remember, I grew up in a trailer.

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.

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

When you start hiding things away, that’s when the darkness creeps up. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

My mother always told me before shows to stand up and show them whose little boy you are.
