I look back at my filmography, and I'm pretty jazzed with the stuff I've been part of. They're all movies I'd like to see.

The Big Lebowski is a real masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned. I suppose I'm a bit biased because I'm in it.

One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor. You know, that persona that he puts on when he's doing his music comes from being an actor, figuring out a persona.

As a kid, you want to be liked for who you are. You don't want to be liked for who your parents are. You don't want to get a job because of who your parents are. You want to do it on your own, with your own gifts and your own value. So, I decided to spare my kids that and not be as pro-active as my dad was.

I don't have too many plans filled out. I know I want to keep doing more music. I've got a couple of albums worth of songs I'd like to put it out there. As far as movies, I just want to continue how I've been doing it: working with terrific people is certainly on my agenda, and then doing stories that interest me.

I confessed to Mike [Cimino] a couple of days before we shot. I was like, What am I doing here, Mike? And Mike just looked at me, in that very directorial manor, took a long pause, and he said, You know the game tag? And I said, Yeah. And he said, Well, you're it. That was some of the best direction I think I've ever received.

You just have to work with your discomfort. ... It’s challenging, but you have to dance the dance that the band’s playing. You can’t say: “I came here to Cha Cha and they’re playing a Waltz, godammit!”

You don't want to do what your parents want you to do. You got your own things. And the whole idea of getting a job because of who your father is - that didn't isn't right.
