I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It turns out that I'm far too schizophrenic musically for people to categorize me. I think people judge me a lot before they ever really know who I am.
It's very schizophrenic because I like a lot of very straight pop, like Small Faces, Stones, Kinks; and on the other hand, I like a lot of avant garde things.
Yeah, I've always considered myself a musical person.
I think something I've been drawn to about the people I work with is that they seem to be - like me - people who are a little insane, and have to make music. It's not a choice they're making for the sake of vanity - like it's cool to be in a band.
I'm kind of insane when it comes to music, a little obsessed.
I think some people just have an innate musical ability, and I'm lucky enough to be one of those people.
I'm not a musician, but I play music. So it's a strange thing.
I think playing somebody who's schizophrenic is such a lesson as an actor. It gets you totally out of your comfort zone, because you can't rely on your technique, your external stuff. You've really gotta look inward, in a way.
I'm a compulsive musician, but it's also a bloody good way out of having to do anything else.
Please hear this: There are not 'schizophrenics.' There are people with schizophrenia.
