It’s tough being an actor making music, because even I have a knee-jerk reaction to that.
I don’t have actor training myself.
For me and for I’m sure any actor, each role is a different challenge to prepare for in a different way.
Even the small amount of infamy I have makes me uncomfortable – on a personal level and on a professional level.
Certainly I’ve had the experience of thinking a person was one thing, and finding out they were another.
A lot of times, you just don’t get the jobs you want to get.
I don’t think there are in life, pure darkness or pure light. Everyone’s got a little of everything.
As an actor, I think a mistake that any storyteller can make is to play the ending.
It’s nice to sometimes get things out of life, rather than stealing from other artists. I’m trying to steal from the real people.
I don’t mean to be highfalutin about it, but I try to limit my visibility.
I generally play strong people and scary people.
It’s probably odd for someone to read an interview where the interviewee is worried about exposure while they’re talking in an interview.
It’s hard to get concert tickets.
If you’re telling a story it’s always best not to play the ending.
I want people to believe me when I play a part and they are less apt to if they know a lot about me and have associations about me.
I think we’re all mysteries to ourselves.
I met Robert Rodriguez working on a movie called ‘Roadracers.’
I lived in Texas for 10 years.
For the last 20 years of my life, I’ve had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects, so I’m attracted to good story, writing and character and good people. That’s what I’m always searching for and I don’t think that’s ever going to change.
I don’t have any training as an actor, but I guess I’m an intense pretender. When you read something over and over, it gets into you a little bit. You can’t help but begin to feel it, even if you’re a healthy person as I think I am.
