Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.

When something's ending, you go through so many phases, and it can be frustrating. But once you're out on the other side, it's like you can really see all the crazy phases you went through.

I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.

I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life - to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.

I'm not a morning person: I can't function until I've had a coffee - or several.

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