A lot of my friends are struggling musicians. Being a struggling actor, it's just frustrating because you're not allowed to do what you want to do.

Somebody might get criticized for doing some movie that totally sucks, then turn around and be incredible. Every actor goes through that, not just musicians who act.

The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.

Entertainment isn't just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music, and it's great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.

But music raises a lot of issues. Music is something that matters to people a lot, and they put a lot of passion into it. And I think when you have an area like that, you're gonna find a lot of issues coming up.

I don't know why so many artists talk about the mainstream's problems from the fringe. I think, unfortunately, it's almost like our education makes us too safe and terrified to step into the world.

Let's point out the elephant in the room: Actor bands are not notoriously successful enterprises. I can't think of any.

I think that the music industry is such an interesting place, and there are so many situations that people don't know about.

The public is usually slow to catch on to new things, and it's important that musicians stick to their guns and not look for that instant gratification.

I think one of the reasons musicians keep doing what they do and writers keep doing what they do, is that we're totally unsuited for anything else. And I for one am much too lazy.
