Also because people like to multitask in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise but leave your brain free to do something else.

The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.

The Christian community latched onto a lot of my music because there were a lot of things about my struggle they related to. But I didn't really want to come out and be identified as a Christian because I didn't want to be a hypocrite because my life wasn't right.

Reading is more of a left-brain process and listening to music is a right-brain function.

That was a time when I did love music I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential so immediately.

The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright for instance will no longer exist in 10 years.

Music is forever music should grow and mature with you following you right on up until you die.

I've been heartbroken. I've broken hearts. That's part of life and its part of figuring out who you are so you can find the right partner.

Television is where the best work for women is right now. I would love to do more movies but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.

I'd love to act more. I've had to turn down multiple movies because I was on tour but it's encouraging to know that someday there might be the right role the right timing. And I've been writing a lot of music so hopefully very soon I'll have recorded a project of my own. I also want to get a boat and open a restaurant.

I don't always see my movies right away. And there are some I haven't seen at all. Sometimes that bothers the directors so I'm obliged to see them.

Right now if you're interested in being a dramatic actor they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.

I was in television drama which is a first cousin to the movies and I trust myself to make the right decisions.

I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me.

I never think it's right to chew gum in front of other people but a lot of times I'll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I'll forget I'm chewing it. Then you don't want to swallow it because it stays in your system for seven years or something so I've asked to throw it away. I've started to wonder if that's why I didn't get certain movies.

I'm a weird big guy. Doing rapping doing movies. Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way.

I just think old old movies they make you concentrate and pay attention so much more. They feel so warm. A lot of modern digital videotape it's just too bright. Don't know why it's not warm.

I can't watch scary movies right now because living on my own it kind of freaks me out.

Sure 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.

Not only do I have to live right I have to get some cash for my troubles - it's a scary thing and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

Right now my job is that I'm like an ambulance chaser. I've got to look for movies with white guys falling out of them.

You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction' and it goes right in the bin.

If my films don't show a profit I know I'm doing something right.

Another thing that's quite different in writing a book as a practicing newspaperman is that if you look at what you've written the next morning and you think you didn't get it quite right you can fix it.
