Acting is a hard profession. More than anything, it takes fortitude.

Never thought acting was something you could make a living at. It wasn't until I was in college, and got a lead in a play, that I began to realize I might just be able to blunder into this profession.

Acting is a tough business, and you need to be in good shape mentally and physically.

I like both music and acting, and they both have a lot in common - timing, immediacy, stuff like that. But acting is more regimented. You wait around for hours, you don't get to write the script, you get hired. Music represents me better. I'm not acting; I'm just expressing myself.

Acting is just common sense. It isn't hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote.

Acting is the easiest money you'll ever make in your life, and directing is probably the hardest money.

I decided to not be so dismissive of my music in favor of my acting. Acting has been such a consistent thing for me; a lot of times in the past, I wouldn't have had the confidence with my music to really make it a part of my schedule. I would easily push it to the side, or I would easily take up time that was needed for it.

The idea of acting is something that absolutely repulses me. I just can't do it. I'm terrible at it. I get roped into films every now and then, and it's always a disaster.

But it is a hard, it's a hard profession teaching acting.
