The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of them look like droopy-eyed armless children.
When you're with somebody as iconic as Mick Jagger or John Fogerty, I'm really aware that, in asking these guys to collaborate with me, I don't want to add a footnote to their career that's like, 'Shouldn't' have done that.' It's important to make sure that they're well represented.
You feel like a prisoner if you don't create. You're jailed up inside of yourself.
I am jailed, with around 200 other inmates, in a wide hall that looks like a warehouse.
I like to think of myself as a 'Mord the jailer' type.
Pearl Jam doesn't just sing about issues they care about. These guys walk it like they talk it.
When Def Jam wanted to sign Method Man, they wanted to sign Method Man and Old Dirty. And Old Dirty wanted to be on Def Jam - everybody, that was like the dream label. But if I had Old Dirty and Method Man on Def Jam, that's two key pieces going in the same direction, whereas there's other labels that needed to be infiltrated.
Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.
James Bond is one of those heroes that all guys feel they could actually be like.
You can't really dance properly to James Brown. If you dance to James Brown, you look like an idiot. There's a lot of jerking.
A lot of people in my generation have dared to ask questions like, 'Who is James Dean?' And I can't imagine asking a question like that, just because it's been ingrained in me since I was so young.
The first time I met James Franco, he was dressed like James Dean. He was James Dean, literally, filming a biopic.
I admire James Franco. I admire somebody like Jack Nicholson. Anyone who just does movies for the sake of making movies and takes big risks.
I could do James Taylor, Neil Young, and sound just like them.
I think, definitely, I was hugely influenced by - obviously like Adele and Florence the Machine. They were my complete idols growing up. But also, there were a lot of influences from my dad, like singer-songwriters of the '70s like Carole King and James Taylor.
I can't think of any punk who's put on an acoustic and hasn't just tried to sound like James Taylor.
I love James Taylor and Carole King, Joni Mitchell - this is, like, early '70s stuff. I love the stuff from the '40s. I love that tight harmony that the studio singers in the '50s would sing. I love Patsy Cline. Yeah, I'm all over the place.
One of my biggest influences growing up was Jamie O'Brien. He was like an older brother to me.
If I could look like anyone, it would be Jamie Redknapp - even up close, he's amazing.
I give everything to my work, and I like complex roles, characters that aren't obvious. I've been very lucky so far, and I'm dreaming of working with directors like Jane Campion, Susanne Bier and the Dardennes. But the gods will decide.
