Madisyn [Shipman] was great. She’s a really talented kid. We got along great. It was fun, in between scenes, I’d pull out my iPod and show her different old rock ‘n’ roll and punk stuff, and she was really into it.

I can’t sleep very well at night. It takes me a while to get to sleep. I could just be nocturnal. I have my nighttime witching hour where I hang out, listen to records or watch TV.
