I grew up with Apocalypse Now and Badlands, so I had a real awe thing going.

Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.

I will confess I did none of my own singing. I did all my own costume and makeup, though.

I love going to concerts, so that whole environment is something that intrigues me anyway.

I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.

I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February.

I still like to listen to the people that I came of age on.

I think it had something to do with my love of music, especially rock music.

I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.

I was initially a leading man, but only on television.

I like the fact that this kind of family has been seen in a movie a million times: teenage kids, the family is a bit strained and they don't have enough money, but in the background the guy used to be a Gene Simmons type.

If someone comes up to me, 90 percent of the time it's about Office Space.

A lot of actors in my age bracket look at being still standing as pretty good.

You need someone to tell you how to do things like hitting your marks, or driving a car so it looks right or getting out of a car so it doesn't take a million years of screen time.

You always know when something works it's a result of everything firing on all cylinders.
