different done
After you've done 60-something movies, you're always looking for something different.
character blessing play
Anytime you get a chance to play some extreme character, in any direction, it's always a great blessing.
looks film motion-pictures
The thing about a motion picture is that look of film on a big screen takes you into a magical.
people ears television
On TV you can, you know you can cram, you know, 30 people into a closet and have an orgy, and then they can all shoot up, and everybody has cigarettes in their nostrils and their ears. They don't care. So yeah, television is amazing right now.
cop heroin let-me
There are rules in movies. I did a movie playing a bad cop who was a heroin addict but they wouldn't let me smoke in a movie.
mean independent writing
Television is making, there was in independent film renaissance late '80s through the mid-90's. It was an amazing time. Television is doing that right now. So that's why everybody wants to do it. I mean if you're writing stuff like, you know, Fargo, or True Detective, or any of these things that are on, Breaking Bad, there are no rules in television.
brother character men
I always wished there was somebody like the Coen Brothers and they appeared. And so yeah, my favorite role that I've ever done was in The Man Who Wasn't There. That's my very favorite character I've ever played.
mother growing-up mean
When I was growing up, when I was 11 years old I was listening to The Mothers of Invention. You know, I mean I was a Frank Zappa fan in Arkansas.
theatre
We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.
writing helping kind
I generally have lyrics first, but you can't help that when you're writing lyrics you start to get a melody in your head. So they come kind of simultaneously.
thinking music-is songwriting
I think Americana music is music that is generally more singer/songwriter oriented. It has more to do with the songwriting. The music, it's more like stories set to music.
dream
You can't knock a place where you realized your dreams.
people sometimes
LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.
kids music-is
I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.
