He just nailed it, ... I don't know how he nailed it; that's why he's Steve Martin ... he's a scientist of the heart, or something.
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.
I was heartbroken at the end of that, because I thought that was going to be it for me. Somehow I had worked my way into this movie and it had exposed me to people and I had a chance to be an actor, which I loved, but I didn't think it was ever going to happen again.
I thought it would be good for me to do something bigger, more bombastic, more physical. I had a blast making the film.
Whereas Jeremy is just the opposite: always moving because he's never really thinking of anything and the kind of guy you'd worry inviting to a dinner party because he says what he thinks. He can be insulting at times but doesn't mean to be.
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.
Making a movie is a weird combination of planning and the absolutely unexpected.
When my first daughter was born, I had to figure out a new way of [making music] so that I wouldn't wake her up.
