We put the fun back into dysfunctional
I definitely related a lot to Perry [from That's Ordinary World movie]. I liked how he put family first. I identified with the exhaustion and klutziness that comes with being a parent, and how he's just a rock-and-roller at heart. For me, it was fun to kind of imagine whether or not this could've been the path I went on, or not.
Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.
My wife is the CEO of the family. I'm the fun guy, just trying to make it up as I go along.
Madisyn [Shipman] was great. She's a really talented kid. We got along great. It was fun, in between scenes, I'd pull out my iPod and show her different old rock 'n' roll and punk stuff, and she was really into it.
We had a lot of fun together. We really were in sync with each other, a lot.Madisyn Shipman is a great kid.
There were a couple of times, leading up to shooting [Ordinary World], where I was like, "Oh, my god, what did I get myself into? Hopefully, I don't ruin this guy's precious script." And then, after a couple of days of shooting, I started getting in the groove of it and it was really fun. I love being a rookie at stuff. It makes it feel vital. I love doing things I've never done before, and I love making stuff.
A punk concert isn't fun without a pit.
You can't live on planet rock star 24/7; you have to be down and dirty and have some fun.
