I have never stopped playing music
In one sentence, I'd describe myself as indescribable. But, I wouldn't end it with a period. I'd end it with three dots
It takes so long to write a script, thinking to yourself, "Am I wasting my time? Am I putting everything into this thing that maybe just won't ever exist?" I always think, God, acting is so much easier. At least for acting you have the source material already.
Logic plus logic equals the illogical. Do you know what I mean?
I love the idea of playing a character that didn't over think everything. He knows what's in front of him and he has an ability to just say whatever he felt
I'm a creature of habit. I go to restaurants all the time and stuff
Writing is like building a bridge while you're on it. If you step forward you fall off and there's nothing in front of you.
I just have some restaurants to just go and eat there. Do mean places to watch people? I like to go shopping look for guitars and stuff with my friends. Look at Meyer, great old instruments, talk about pedals and stuff
Steve Martin is such an exquisite and precise writer. Everything is so clear; it's like a bell. He says what he means and says it so beautifully
Whereas I think in New York every step is a detour in every direction.
I'm a very slow reader, and books of interviews are an absolute favorite of mine.
It's funny that people think because you don't have a movie or record out, you disappear into a frozen chamber someplace. They think you're dead when you're not in the public eye
But actually, I'm planning on moving to New York this year and I can tell you one reason why I think New York is incredible: I think things happen to you that you don't expect have happen to you.
Man, I hate to get depressing on you, but I don't have a game. I'm so alone, so depressed, so dark, no.
