Making a movie is a weird combination of planning and the absolutely unexpected.
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.
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.
It looks like fish tank rocks. Chocolate rocks! ... If you catch the pun.
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.
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.
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.
