For movies to get greenlit solely based on the success of other movies that have a lot of women in them? It's so ridiculous to me.
I always say I want to look haunted.
I am shyer than most people think.
I definitely ran with a pack of hoodlums, that's for sure.
I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and then my high-school years were in Rochester, New York.
I would never wear fur.
Women do get drunk, they do get sick and they do get food poisoning. It seems to be a bit of a surprise to people that they are seeing it.
I really, really want to go to Paris. I've never been.
I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.
I'm not as much a history person as an art person, but I mean, you can read history through art.
A big part of being in a wedding is the financial obligation, and that's something that people don't really talk about, but if you're asked to be in a wedding, you're gonna have to fork over some cash.
The weddings that I've been in have been pretty mellow.
People sometimes get a little extra criticism when they try something that they don't normally do, but I think that's just a natural thing for artists. It's like, 'Okay, I did that, and now I want to try this.'
I used to carry my dad's empty guitar case around the neighborhood because I wanted people to think I played the guitar. I would put flintstones vitamins in it in case I got tired, so I could pop some and keep walking.
