“My experience as a young actor on network television was that I couldn't make it work. I was drowning as an actor.”

“The older I get, the more vegetables I eat. I can't stress that more. Eating healthy really affects my work. You not only need to be physically prepared, but mentally and spiritually.”

“I was really lucky that, through my 20s, I got to work with some amazing people, and I tried to sit back and watch and learn.”

“I think we all think we sound really good in the shower, where there's that nice reverb, and the water's drowning you out, and there is some liberation in the freedom of being totally alone and really going for it.”

“Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.”

“I think that when we are outside of the system, and when we're drowning, all we're thinking about is swimming and succeeding in it. And it takes - at least for me - a taste of that to be like, 'Wait, this whole thing's actually wrong.'”
