What I've learned about acting is that it needs to be mysterious. If you overthink how a beat needs to be played, it can trip you up.

That's one of the things that's great about acting. You can play all the different aspects of a human being.

Over the years, I played with a couple of spectacular guitar players, and playing with them has made me play better than I knew how to play. I hope the same thing is true with acting.

The idea of transformation - playing something I'm not - is the bit I enjoy most about acting.

I enjoy all kinds of performances and take each role differently. I keep the audiences in mind.

I think you always learn something in every character you play onstage, either personally or creatively.

So what's so enticing about doing a play is that you get to do that thing that got you into acting in the first place... There's a real attraction to being able to play, to just play. And that's something that theater affords you.

I come from a tradition where the writer writes a play for the actors, rather than for himself, and the dialogue is made to work onstage, so it needs actors to help shape it. So you never get a play right straightaway.

I love acting it's apart of me and I try to put a little bit of myself in each of my roles.

The acting thing is the side benefit of becoming a little bit well known with my music.
