“An ex-girlfriend once got upset when I told her that music is the most important thing in my life. It's more important than anyone else could ever be. I don't want to be overly dramatic and say it's the only thing that gets me up and keeps me going. But people in your life come and go.

The great directors Iâ€™ve talked to, Iâ€™ve said listen, I donâ€™t mind playing a woman that is a tiny part, but how does the story affect her? What can I play in the end thatâ€™s different from the beginning? Otherwise, it doesnâ€™t make sense, because itâ€™s just like being a prop.”
