I've never modeled myself on anybody, but there are a lot of people whose work I really admire and attitudes I certainly subscribe to.

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 want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character.

The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity.

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

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

Has anybody seen my tambourine?

I like risky parts - abrasive characters the audience won't necessarily like.

But we live in a modern world, you know, and, and also it does seem to me that if you - that whatever talents you have, it... I mean it may sound a bit absurd but I, I think it's your, absolutely your duty to resolve them, you know?

Even smiling makes my face ache.
