My head's never really quiet. The only time I can get it to turn off is if I watch 'CSI' or 'Law & Order,' where I have to follow the crime. If I can't turn my head off during that, I know I've really got a problem.

My level of awkward makes everyone else feel normal

I'm interested in Jackson Pollock's kind of art, where art is beautiful, but it's nothing, and yet it's incredible.

I get so excited when a song I wrote that's very personal to me goes No. 1 and I look down and see people singing the words back to me.

When I'm in my 50s, I kind of think I'll want to be in a garden.

When I look at acting careers that I really admire, I see that it's been a precise decision-making process for these people. They make decisions based on what they love, and they do only the things that they are passionate about. They play only characters that they can't stop thinking about.

I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.
