We're gonna get high, high, high, when we're low. The fires burn from better days. She scream why, oh why? I said I don't know!
I think it's your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard.
Attack your instruments. Don't let them attack you.
What is going on in America is extreme. The youth cult, they worship youth so much it's almost paranoid. And LA is the Mecca of it all; they're taking it to the hilt.
Eventually, if something pops up, that's cool, but I still wanna continue the process of learning how to be a good actor.
Minority is about being an individual. It's like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life.

The main thing about the character [in the Ordinary World] is that he loves music, and he shares it with his daughter. He's having a mid-life moment, and it's a small moment, really.
