Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.

I'm not a conventional leading man at all and have no wish to be.

I really like the way that Jack Nicholson [acts] in particular works. I like the fact that he takes enormous risks. He's an enormously disciplined actor who seems to be totally capable of dealing with the business as a business and yet drop it totally when he's working.

The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity.

The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.

I moved to L.A. because that's where they point cameras at you. And that's what I'd like them to do.

Even smiling makes my face ache.
