I've always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.
Actors have to be there and do the work, and that's enough.
Because, you know, I can't work a bicycle pump.
I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late.
I've figured out what to do so far, but it's always the next thing you come to where the man with the bucket of ice cold water is waiting - whoosh! in your face. That's why you work with directors who know what to tell you to do.

If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.
I hardly ever watch my own work. I just end up picking myself apart! I can't even stand to hear myself on voicemail. the sound of my own voice is like nails on a chalkboard. The same goes for my records.
I quit my job just to quit. I didn't quit my job to write fiction. I just didn't want to work anymore.
