My parents were hippies.

It's been such a group effort. When you're a new band and you have limited resources, you end up getting people that are there because they love what you do, and that's great.

But I've consistently worked for 10 years.

I wasn't ever good enough to be on the baseball team and that sort of stuff.

I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.

The big things I've had are things I bought myself.

Nobody believes it, but I slept on a futon till I was 13.

I had a very modest upbringing.

My theory is, independent movies only work if you're willing to push the material and do something different.

Like, they know that I have a habit of rubbing my earlobes, I've been doing it since I was two.

Even in my darkest times I knew I had a good future ahead of me.

I think some people are on a mission to die, and I never was.

When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

Even the great bad guys in cinema history, they're likable.

My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.

Life started getting good when I started making money.
