“I be goofy, kinda funny. Acting stupid but they love me.”

A penny for your thoughts, a dollar for your dreams.

If life a joke then I’m waiting for the punch. You all about the beef but me, I’m bout the bun.

I’m addicted to something at all times. Like, it’s always music, but maybe sometimes it’s a pair of pants or something else. That’s just how my personality works.

Enjoy the best things in your life cuz you ain’t gonna get to live it twice.

Never scared of death, but I ain’t ready for that day to come.

Everything will be good by the weekend.

Every single person in my life and every relationship I have is distant because all I do is music.

If you didn’t make mistakes, you wouldn’t get far.

I like tattoos. I’m gonna be covered. I’m not going to touch my face or under the chin on the neck: it’s my least favorite place.

Time goes by living without you. Hope you know, I’ve been thinking about you.

Stand by those who stand by you.

There’s a lot of beauty in the world, so go hang out and go be a part of the solution rather than the problem.

I don’t want to limit myself as an artist and only do a certain sound.

They say you waste time asleep, but I’m just trying to dream.

My ideology was, if I just make very happy music, very happy music, then people will forget about whatever their problems are. I will forget about my problems.

People love you when they on your mind. A thought is love’s currency.

Acting is a mysterious process.

I like acting because I get to find different parts of myself, or at least create different parts that don’t already exist, and see the world through someone else’s eyes.

And Shanghai is amazing. I’m a fan of science fiction so when you’re there in the night with all the lights and all this modernity, it’s like a set in a movie.

I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route.

There are no small parts. Only small actors.

They were all wonderful [on Andy Griffith Show], but I enjoyed Andy and Don and Ron the most. Ron played little Opie so well. He really took acting seriously and worked hard to deliver his lines well.

I’m just looking for things to steal [on working with great actors]. It’s like going back to acting school. When you’re around people that do it well and you get your head out of your ass, you can really learn something.

Acting’s always felt like a kind of creature that lays dormant and collects observations when I’m not working. And then when I’m actually doing it, it just rises up. But everything I do is more about curiosity and investigation than it is about performance.
