I've always loved music, but I never really played anything. After 'Walk the Line' and learning to play guitar, and having that sense of performing, I think that certainly opened the door for me, for music.
My parents were just searching for an alternative way of raising their children.
It's an amazing feeling to go into a studio and really be alone.
If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person', who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself - or at least I do - to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that's dangerous.
You can take that 'I'm an artiste' stuff to the wrong extreme, too.
I would try and sing along with bands that I like but it sounded so atrocious that I couldn't.
I enjoy humour more than anything, I don't really sit around banging my head and crying all the time.
There are kids who get on a BMX bike when they're eight years old and they go, 'Whoa, this is incredible,' and grow up to do extreme sports. It's the same for me with acting.
I don't really make movies because I want to see my face on a billboard or because I want to get good reviews or have a big box office. That doesn't really matter to me at all.
I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.
I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.
For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.
I just I don't feel challenged by acting anymore. I don't enjoy the process anymore.
I'd see child actors and I'd get so jealous, because they're just completely wide open.
When I look back I can't believe how my parents managed, but the cliche is true. We didn't have money, but we were rich in so many other ways.
I still think that movies are amazing; I respect actors and directors.
I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.
My significant other right now is myself, which is what happens when you suffer from multiple personality disorder and self-obsession.
Things are rarely as exciting or dramatic as we make them out to be in the press.
You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose.
