One of the great things about the Internet is that people are excited about music and wanna hear a random album from a band somewhere in Romania or something, and to listen to all sorts of stuff from around the world.
Some people only look at the good stuff and some people only look at the bad stuff.
My brain begins to work stuff out, but then kinda half way through, it starts wandering off and it's like ahh, unicorns.
I used to do boiler room telemarketing for a living, like hardcore fraud stuff that gets busted on 60 Minutes every week.
Society has definitely gotten to the point where everybody has to comment on anything, and if you want to stay sane as a performer, you're better off not reading that stuff.
The thing about stand-up was, I was doing all this sketch and YouTube stuff where I was not being censored and I got to do my own thing, and it was really cool.
Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.
I don't get into politics. I know [Donald] Trump, but I don't follow that. That's just an aside for him when he has nothing else to say. He never involved me in any of that stuff.
I could have played more complex stuff. I could have been a busier player. But that's not what I wanted to do. I played what I wanted to play.
With the White Sox, when we do stuff, everybody's opinion is asked for, is given and then decisions are made on just about everything.
I like learning new stuff, and continuing to educate myself as best I can.
Sometimes when I'm under pressure, if I think somebody is expecting stuff from me, I'll do better than if I was just left on my own. I can sit down - I'm a skilled writer, I've been doing it all my life - and I can get down to it.
I started out on guitar when I was nine years old, and I started playing bars and stuff when I was thirteen, and I've been playing ever since.
I always was intrigued with writing my own stuff, and I was always really bad at learning other people's stuff.
There are plenty of things in vaults that didn't sell in its time. So much stuff. But slowly these companies start to get a hint that these things have some value.
And it's very hard to do this stuff too because there are so many effects movies being done, so many companies busy doing this work and the public just wants to see it. Good work is being done all over the world.
Do whatever you're directed to do, and leave the rest of that technical stuff up to the director.
And sometimes, when you feel low on yourself, that's just when you have to go out there and be photographed or do a scene where you're hot stuff. You're always working on it.
When I make records, I never listen to stuff after it's done. Ever.
I know this is obviously biased as well, but in my Twitter feed, on my Facebook, 90 percent are gushing, glowing, "Thank you for doing that" - type of reviews. "It's ballsy, it's honest, it's hilarious" - that kind of stuff. Obviously those are fans.
The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff.
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
I don't think of those things [from farting, to male on male affection, to crossdressing] as being taboo, I suppose, so it didn't strike me as, "Oh, I'm breaking boundaries and stuff..."
I know in my life there's stuff that will come back because I haven't dealt with it, and it's the same with everybody.
I don't find biology as interesting as politics and humanism. I talk more about existential stuff.
