“I love music, and I love singing.”

I have done lots of music projects in my life and some of them I am more proud of than others.

I don’t really know who I am as an actor: the best thing would be to experiment with it for the next 30 years and never really find out.

I don’t really see the point in making a film unless you can think of a good reason to do it.

When you’re doing a film, people are always telling you exactly what to do. Literally, your own decisions are taken away from you.

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors in the history of ever.

I want to take advantage of any popularity I have.

I didn’t have any pets growing up.

I am comfortable playing the fool, I think.

I swim a lot. I swim most days.

I’m not really an animal person.

I actually went to university.

I can’t run. I start getting twinges. If I were filmed running, it would be awful.

I would like to work with whoever would like to have me.

Maybe Oliver Stone doesn’t lend himself well to remakes or sequels, because he does them so well the first time.

We live in a youth-obsessed, aesthetically obsessed culture. That is no more evident than in the film industry.

Forget the Beatles and all the rest. This is the real Liverpool sound. It’s real singing, and it’s what the Kop is all about.

Anyone who can do the splits and come back up on the backbeat, as James Brown and Prince can, has my eternal respect.

I started out as a very traditional actor. The first thing I ever did in terms of performance was singing.

I don’t want to try to recreate for no reason. Like, me in my bedroom, singing songs to a camera was a special thing that was at that time in my life. But I’m just not that kid. I like the format of it, but I want to be able to release things for free.

Ask Nureyev to stop dancing, ask Sinatra to stop singing, then you can ask me to stop playing.

I read a comment that made me think I should stop singing for a while. And I didn’t want to stop singing, because it was the only thing I loved. At first I thought,

Singing lessons are like body building for your larynx.
