I didn't build a career off my looks, thank God.

I love the process of working with a filmmaker and the writers and the actors.

It's not my nature to dominate and bully.

When you say you grew up in Los Angeles, a lot of people think the west side: they think the glitz and all this stuff that I actually had no relationship to growing up.

Some of my greatest memories are of sleep-away camp; I did that three summers in a row when I was, like, 9,10, and 11.

I don't approach anything I do like an academic. I'm not trained, and I work with intuition a great deal.

My dad was lackadaisical on the discipline front. I dropped out of everything at school.

It always surprises me when people say, 'I don't regret one thing about my life. I wouldn't change anything because it's all led me to where I am today.' I would want to change certain things that have caused others pain.

My dad instilled in me to naturally question all authority. I don't follow anything blindly. That's religion, cops, doctors, schools, you name it.

All this primal energy people respond to in me and my characters is in my music, 10 times more.
