I wasn't exactly uncomfortable when I did my first comedy. I was just very aware of the risks; if you do a comedy that sucks, and you suck in it, then you won't get a chance to do it again.
I didn't get arrested to show off my wild character. People say it's a gimmick for all five of us to be different. That's ridiculous.
I want people to come see my films and enjoy them, but at the end of the day you can't control what people think.
I go wild on a stage. Some folks have measured us an image. They pretend us to be saints. And that image is much tougher to keep up with. Because that's not who we are.
If you're playing a fictional character, you can create a character, you can sort of take certain liberties. And when you're playing a real person who's actually standing there watching you, you know, it's - you do feel a weight. You know, you feel an obligation to not only be - to give the best performance that you can, but to make sure that you represent this person.
You can't control what people gravitate to and what they don't. We can only control the work that we do and try to give it the best that we can.
To me it is harder to play a real person, but when you do it and you feel good about it and the person feels good about it, I think that's doubly rewarding. So the challenge is greater, the risk is greater, but the reward is greater as well.
In the end I'm the only one who knows me
There's a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don't execute well
I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy.
Your resolve is unquestionable. Your character undeniable. Your history unparalleled. You've inspired us, all the way. You will again today.
In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.
Look, we are a rock group. But you should see all those things in perspective. People tend to blow up everything into ridiculous proportions. And then the fun is gone real soon.
Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice
