After I quit my band, I definitely was so full, like I'm so full I could never eat again. I had that kind of feeling where the elements, like the touring stuff, were harder for me and I definitely felt fine not experiencing it again.
You feel like a grown-up, but I've felt like a grown-up since I was 17, so I don't know ... But, I like it.
To be honest, I'm happy in LA because my family is there and I think that's a great reason to live in a city - to be near the ones you love.
The thing I definitely related to most in Jeremy was a sincere desire to be alive and meet people. He's a pretty open-minded person.
It looks like fish tank rocks. Chocolate rocks! ... If you catch the pun.
But I go in spurts, and lately I've been Watching School of Rock every night and I've been watching Valley Girl a lot. It just depends on the mood.
But in a city where you drive a lot, you know your destination and you try to get there as quickly as possible unless there's a roadblock or a detour.
But I'd have to say Young Frankenstein, which I can watch forever.
It was always hard for me to really make friends, but that's just because I like to stay home.
What I love about lyrics is that they don't have to be very complicated. A good sentence over a great chord with a good melody - all you need is that one moment.
I admire the actors that truly can impersonate someone - become someone, inhabit someone. It's amazing when you see it done.
What I think is so great about interviews, is when people cite inspirations.
You get to a certain age, and you feel like you know who you are, and how you fit into the world, and how the world sort of perceives you. And you get pretty set in that. And then things can happen that can turn it upside.
You can learn a lot of things from being in movies.
