Memories are just stories we tell ourselves about our past; and that's often why they don't match when we've shared the same experiences with someone.

On 'Mad Men,' I have a bit of an advantage because I know who gets better as they repeat a scene and who's best at the beginning.

Let's face it, making movies is all risk. Most of the time, batting average-wise, the reward does not outweigh the risk.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.
